That’s why I planned every step and every purchase of parts, meticulously. Then I applied every individual operation to all cases, one after another. The metalwork (Filing, sanding, equalizing, gluing and painting) took a very long time. I don’t even know how many hours it took per case because I always did one individual operation to all cases (e.g. filing or cutting) and then started the next task. It probably took a couple of days per G5. Then I broke my shoulder in May 2017 (doing something stupid on an Austrian glacier). That made it harder to do the sanding for a couple of weeks.īut even though it was painful, I couldn’t stop. I chose the best 14 cases after painting and decided to finish modding them, completely. I will call these “Barebones” in the following. The 14 best cases got equipped with a 600W PSU, front-panel, water-cooling (for the mATX Barebones), apple power-cables, etc… In the pyramid-pictures they are always on top, because they were finished last and taken to the workshop more often. No more hard work needed to finish the build.

Just missing a motherboard (and maybe hard drives) - and done.ġ2 other cases did not end up perfectly painted, but still good. Only 4 of them have stronger orange peel. I will call these 12 cases “Empty Ones” in the following.

One could make furniture or art out of them… Ready for ATX or mATX boards, empty PSU-Enclosure… One could finish the mod with a new front panel.
