miniG5ized
Hello all. Well here is my latest project called miniG5ized. If you can`t tell from the title I`m minimizing a G5 case. I`m making it so it can fit an MATX mobo, atx psu, full optical drive and three hdds. Also did I mention it will be watercooled. For those of you that don`t know me since this is my first project log at [H] here are some mods i have completed.
Soldam revamped.
Ecube.
Now that you know me a little bit better here are the specs of miniG5ized.
MSI-RS480M2 mobo
FX57
x850xt pe
2gb ocz
Ultra Xconnect psu
Pioneer DVDrw
2x 120 gb samsung hdds
1x 160 gb samsung hdd
Watercooling:
2x c-system mag pumps
Aqua Computer Cuplex XT CPU block
Alphacool mosfet coolers
Alphacool bga coolers
GFX Alphacool NexXxoS GPX for gpu
Angel eye window res
HTF3 Single 80 rad
Enought chit chat. Here are the pics
Here is how the inside of the case will be setup with the parts. I will have the optical facing up. I`m going to move that stealth thing the case has to the top. I will then put a fan controller in the empty slot left behind.
Also to the right of the optical I`m creating an acrylic enclosure to duct air to the rad and to exhaust the air out the top. It will have two 120mm aluminum sanyo denki fans. One on top and one on the bottom. The cube enclosure will be a duct attaching the fans to the rad. I will use aluminum fan adapters to adapt the 120mm fans to the enclusure which will be 80mm. The rad will be in between somewhere. The hardrives will go right below the optical. I will be able to fit three of them. The chrome fan is there to represent how thick the enclosure will be and to see how close it will come to the video card.
Here it is being cut down.
Done.
The leftovers
This is the cover G5 uses to stealth their drives. It very nice. Instead of being a flap that swings down it slides down. Very clean.
This is where it is going now.
Till next time.
