    amazing work and a great amount of pictures! Im definatly suscribed! The great architechture of the case is perfect to mod, too bad theres a (removed) rotten core to the apple :D.

    Didnt someone nail a G5 mod recently in green? I distinctly remember it... except for its name tho....

    I didn't say that he disapaered, I only said that 2 of his other project just didn't get updated anymore and where never finished on Bit-tech.

    Bas, do you happen to remember the names of those projects, I'd love to check them out even though they are unfinished.

    Hopefully we'll hear from Mr Bean soon and this great mod will live.

    Its very easy to get sidelined with goings in real life. Let's hope he finds some spare time to update soon. :)

    Darkened, one of them was called Supercool, and was a water and phase-change project.

    I don't know if it's possible. It might be though since intel is in bed with Apple. Try the OS thread

    Hello Boyz,
    Back finally - between modding a carputer for my 600HP UTE, and work comittments, I have been rather busy, and away from casemodding for to long!

    But, after a good rest, I have restarted this G5 mod, yes, it will get finished!

    a Short update though - refer to post 105 on page 2:

    I have made a topplate to cover the ugly Apple G5 original, and this will have dual functionality -hiding the Apple area just below the optical drive, creating a mount for the PSU, and, act as a locator for the radiator -I want to keep the inside relatively clean, free of backets, etc.....so, I needed an alternative way to locate the rad.

    At the bottom will be 2 small little pins on the rad, going into receptor holes in the floor-plate - and then, on the top, a receiver area for the top rad tank......

    Here's a pic of the rad sitting in the case....(it is mounted, and will be located like this for the final setup)

    [​IMG]

    Ad here is a shot of the top=plate, and rad position....

    [​IMG]

    And, here a close-up of the rad-tank receiver area to positively locate and fix the rad in place.....
