AWW SNAP! MY FREAKING MOTHERBOARD IS BTX. I guess this means i will be cutting up the back of my G5.

hello [H]ardforum dudes! i have lurked on this forum for a few years but never registered. UNTIL NOW!
A friend of mine gave me a PowerMac G5 case, and i think i want to put my dell into it.
if all goes well, i will begin the project tomorrow. i might even paint the case gun metal black.

Paint the beautifully anodized G5 case?

And there are a ton of very good and not so good PC > G5 mods out there, I suggest you read through as many as you can. You will learn invaluable lessons.

i have read them all. but none of them used BTX i think.

mmmm.... sell the Dell case with mobo and buy a ATX mobo?

what this guy said x1000 if your going to butcher such a gorgeous case at least butcher it in a way that will allow you to use decent motherboards

ok im getting atx.

throw the BTX mobo out... Just my opinion

Yeah, get new components? Don't put p4 crap into it. Get some new stuff even if you have to wait a while to afford new parts. All your wiring will need to be completely changed if you upgrade in the future. The Mac case is not going to age. Its design is simple so it will be timeless.
