Powermac G5 MOD - Update 02/15 Page 6 #104

Scatology
Hi guys! I think this is my first real post! :D I do not post a lot but I read all the time the forum. :P

 

So yah... I like Apple and I'm on macs since a year and a half BUT I'm not a apple fanboy... lol I just like some of their products.   -_- I'm really open-minded and I appreciate everything. :wub:  I've always been addict to computers hardware since 12-13 years and I miss it since I "swiched" to macs. So here I am with a cool project!  :D    B)

 

 

I grabbed a Powermac G5 case. I'll make a mATX conversion. :P It will be for a NAS setup. The NAS will be just for file sharing. The theme will be black/gray/silver.

 

The config:

 

-AMD sempron 145

-Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 REV 5.0

-Corsair XMS3 2GB

-Corsair CX430m

-JBOODCD...  (Just a Bunch Of Old Dusty Crappy Disks)

I received my backplate from CBRLaser this morning!  I don't yet if I'll leave the plate like or if I'll powder coat it in black like some other parts of the case.

how much did it cost you to do custom welding?

 

also, how would you mount your motherboard? did you order a custom welded  mobo tray as well?

That is going to be one massive NAS!

 

Any thoughts on how many drives you're going to add to it, or how many you would be able to?

 

I'll put old HD i got here that I'm not using right now. An old Seagate 160GB and a WD Black 500GB in JBOD. May be later I'll run some WD RED for a backup server.

Yah it means what it means:  The study of fecal excrement, as in medicine, paleontology, or biology.   :rolleyes:  Do not confuse with scatophily...  <_<

30$ at a local business, but it's not welded, it's laser cutted.

 

I'll order the Lian-Li motherboard tray PC-V351 to screw it on the custom backplate.

So today I cutted the back of the case! The cutting look not right but in person it's really straight. May be the filing reflections.
