Case Mod Project: The Apple/19.03.2013/Interior

[Zsolt Guriga]

I cordially greet you, and I want to welcome you to my new project,called The Apple
After the finish of Hello Kitty-project,I was thinking a lot about a new one,and I decided to mod an Apple G4 case, the very fact that the error of ATX motherboards, and other components of course, I found it a challenge
This mod would like to progress in the field of presentation and taken photos, which is quite far away, so to speak, from me
My goal is to create a compact mode (PC), which in appearance and performance meets the present day
HW used will be shown step by step, as currently only the i7 3770k own that will be the heart of this Project
In short I want to prove that not all the old stuff for the landfill and waste
I hope you will enjoy the new project, and that we will share impressions, ideas, and have fun
So lets start
A couple of pictures of the case and its condition :

Baš me zanima kako češ srediti ovu četvorku.

to nisam ni ja druže našao,ali sve u svemu ovo kućište mi je slađe od G5,jer je manji i kompaktniji
želeo bih da spolja sačuvam osobine fabričke koliko je moguće

I always have liked the G4 case albeit more than the G5.


I'm gonna get flamed...... I'm gonna get flamed...

I agree with you,I like much more this case than the G5 too
So you think that the hex nuts gonna end up with fill port,hmmmgood idea,but lets wait and see

Glad you have the same case,so welcome and follow this project,and the end if you liked it,you can do the same,or even better,with new ideas

[Zsolt Guriga]

The weather was so good in the morning, so I threw on the project
I plotted where and how to cut the bottom of the case,so I can turned it into atx case
and I decided to go a few steps further than pure measurement

[Zsolt Guriga]

Because of the good quality of case,I decided to use heavy artillery instead dremel

[Zsolt Guriga]

Redundant parts



Weather forecast




Roughing with rasp

[Zsolt Guriga]

Assembling,just to see how fit in
I need here additional processing,and after that im gonna glue it with two component liquid metal or i can use even epoxid






To be continued……..

After a while of thinking I decided to order a motherboard for the project, so on Monday I picked up the phone and ordered, arrived yesterday ...
I bought it from MONITOR SYSTEM D.O.O. Belgrade,I would like to publicly commend them,because they have the most affordable prices here in Serbia,and they are very nice to the customers
I am very pleased with them
I want to share a couple of pictures (on my way) of the motherboard, which of course everyone already knows, and in countless forums is presented and tested, so it is an ASUS Maximus GENE V-motherboard
