    Apple managed to make a Watercooled G5 without ruining its looks :p

    Seriously, looks like its coming along well, must be pretty hard working in something with a million rivets lol.

    From Wikipedia:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Mac_G5

    Then look for Mac Pro. Just look unless you want to get on the other side of $4K USD for a pretty quad or newly available 8 core. :jawdrop:


    This is where most of our G5 cases come from. H2O leakers end up on eBay. I got my first 3 there. 2 leaks and a brand new case dropped and bent up by FedEx.

    hey!
    I got good news for you guys, I've done a lot off work the last weeks on this case and it's almost finished, I only have to make some time to make a little photoshoot of the G5.

    If someone has interest why it took such a long time, that's because I went on holiday in april and another one in May, then I broke my hand on one of the last days of the holiday, so I was out for more than a month, in June there wore exams and in Juli I was working, but I made some time in the evening, so expect an update in the following week!!

    greets!!

    Hi,
    I've taken a few quick pictures today, because I have started a new project to put these guts in it :)

    But here are the "almost" finished pictures:

    I started a new project because this one went over my head, it was my first project, so it was just to much for me to start a non-ATX project.
    But it came really good and maybe I'd pick it up later.

    For any one else interessed in the new project, I'll post a direct link and a teaser soon.

    Greets, hope you liked it!

    EDIT: Could someone explane how I could chance the thread's name.
    thanks!

    EDIT2:
    The teaser I told about:
