Apple g5 case conversion complete.

I call this my Transvestite PC. A PC dressed up as a Mac.

I purchased the broken computer from a guy for a good deal. Only the CPU, Motherboard and PSU were broken.

So I started by taking the computer apart and scavenging parts from it. After a few weeks I got my aluminium and started to work. It was surprisingly hard to do a decent job on the interior (which is the only place I will be working BTW).

I made a PSU chamber, fan bracket, motherboard tray and cable management panel. The case is only temporary though because Proxima will start soon. I made it very non-user friendly as all the parts needs to be taken out in order to reach the PSU.

But this doesn't bother me.

I didn't make an effort to install a decent power switch and USB ports, because, again, the case is only temporary. Once it is out of use I will do this.

Here is some quick pictures I took of the final product:
