Hello, I am just in the finishing stages of my G5 Mod and thought I
would share my work for inspirational purposes. Unfortunately I do not
have time for a full blown build log, and I think most of it is pretty
much the same as other G5 mods so I will just focus on a few things I
did a little different.
1) I Built my own Motherboard Tray and Back Plate. I had a few reasons
for doing this, first was I wanted to be able to incorporate my Hot Swap
cages into the motherboard tray, and have sufficient room behind the
tray for the rats nest of cables needed for 8 hard drives. The second
was I wanted to make an aluminium rear I/O port cover instead of using
the black one that comes with the motherboard. And lastly, I was unsure
of what exactly I was going to do with CPU cooling until the last minute
and wanted to leave a blank slate for this.
The Finish Of The Aluminium: For all aluminium I "Glass Beaded" (same
as sand blast but with finer Glass sand) and this matches the anodized
finish of the case nicely when looked at straight on, BUT does not
reflect light the same way and looks only close when viewed on angles.
It is also not very forgiving with finger marks and scratches - I had to
do touch ups once all Fabricating was complete.For the rear I/O cover,
I measured this completely from the supplied I/O sheild that came with
my motherboard with a digital calliper, then made a CAD drawing that the
water jet shop could use. This was not the most difficult thing to do
but you will need to be extremely accurate with your measurements as
some spaces in-between ports are very thin.
TIP: its best to pick 1 single port hole and use as a refernce point to
start as the sides of the shield are meant to be squeezed into a hole on
your case - you won't be able to get accurate measurements from sides
or corners. For my CAD drawing I worked in mm to two decimal places.
