    dude i love this mod! ITS GOT TO GO UP TO THE TOP WITH GREAT OTHER MODS! i.e Dark Blade by G69T.

    Not as complex as Dark blades build i know but it's all down to looks and weather it works in the end.

    Me cant help but think what it may look like a black, funky aniodiosed black! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    It's your mod of course but imho don't anodize it. It will make it look too much like a Lian-Li V1000... i'm not saying those cases arn't sexy but i think maintaining the look of a G5 is important.

    Top class mod anyway, amazing attention to details :)

    Project is looking very good, nice work on the metal work. I like the fact you are trying to keep it as stock as possible :)

    Interesting that you used the Project Bad Apple name I used that for my apple g4 conversion hehe :D ( http://www.gordyhand.co.uk/badapple.htm )

    Good luck with the project :)

    I love your attention to detail and also the way you are keeping the G5 case looking as if it has been untouched.

    Keep up the good work, I'm watching this thread very carefully.
