Case Mod - In Progress G5 (Final config & Gallery - 2011-09-03)

Loving your attention to detail and all that, but why do you want the side panel fan? Especially now that you're going to use the HD4870x2 the side fan seems pointless. The graphic card will get enough cold air from the front panel fans...

 

Thank you for the compliments.
Following the change of hardware, I also think the side fan is useless. I think I will not use it.

 

Yeah, massive fans on the side tend to look a bit naff to be honest, especially those clear fans with blue LEDs. However concealed fans like those in Antec cases and the Coolermaster HAF cases tend to look a bit better.

 

Eject cd:

 

That works amazingly well! Keep it up.

 

Yes it works really well, I'm happy with the result.

 

nice job on the dvd. looks like it opens and closes really smooth. still trying to get mine right.

 

thank you,

that advance the work on your mod?

 

I wish. I have a design flaw in my case that is making it harder to mount. It looks like you used the mounting holes on the bottom of the dvd drive. Well the way I mounted the HDD and lcd cage, I have no room to screw the dvd drive from the underside. I have another plan but been to busy to try it out. Been laying hardwood floors, so once I finish I can try my idea.

Btw your work is awsome. The detail your putting into this to keep the factory look is amazing. I keep going back looking at the pic of the rear fan gates, It's a perfect copy of the original....Can't wait to see the end result of your hard work.....

 

I glued together a leaf of aluminium under the plate support CDROM (for a smooth and clean aspect). But I can always position the cdrom with screws and support it in place with the two small levers (I have use screws a little bigger)

Yes for the aspect, I try to be similar that the original, but it is hard.

 

With my two 120mm fans (Revoltec SilentWings USC) blowing air into my box, there will be dirt. So I am trying to see to put filters, style:


But I ask myself questions:
1 - It does not block too much airflow?
2 - It does not create noise or hiss?
3 and last - he is positioned at the position ventillo? just prior to the ventillo takes that air clean?

Thank you for your help

 

By searching things for my job, I fell on this:

I'll just be in order and try to make my background light (350mmx180mm) instead of 4 neon Cold Cathode 30cm WHITE


Using the 3mm plexi special light reflection.




But I do not know if the LEDs have the same brightness as neon and quantity to use (4, 5, 6 ou ....)???.

 

is that the original disk drive? or did you make it?

 

no, it is the engraver "PC", but it goes to him in place of that of origin, without any modification.

 

New update this weekend (tray superior)

 

Iv never seen a G5 build before, nice work for thinking outside the box.

 

Through lack of place the rhoébus change place, the update having pushed back next week.

DVD 'slot'

I'm with TEC, the stealth feature of the DVD opening and closing is soooo in line with all the other 'clean' features.

But, can you not give more details on how this works? I am not familiar with 'engraver "PC"'.

Thanks.....

 

I too would like to know how you did that amazingly stealthed drive. So clean and good-looking!
I wouldn't mind using that idea for my own project

 

I did not fabricate the mecanisme of the mask DVD, it is that of origne Mac. I have jsute fabricated a high chock for DVD.
