Shipping is ridiculously expensive, but i do understand why. I wouldn't carry a g5 on my shoulders across the world for 100$ either :DD But if you think, 140$ isn't that much if you compare to something like a 750D or even 900D, they are way more expensive. Also that 140 is only about 40$ more than the most popular case Define R4, so you might still consider that case even with that shipping :)

Yeehaw! There is a psu mount now! I cut the original "middle plate" into smaller pieces and used them as holders for the psu. This is starting to look very promising :)

I just need to find an angled psu power cable somewhere...

This and this and some mains cable and you can make it the perfect length and route it down the lip at the back (to the left of the locking lever when viewed from the rear of the case)

That'd be the cleanest way to do it imo, it's how I would if I ever get to do a mATX  build with one of my g5 cases

The G5's to be thrown out are too heavy to take home... they ain't worth it. Sent to the trash bin.

I got a cable today and i already have a custom made power plug to the back of the case ;)

 

Going to cut this to a good length

How are they too heavy to take home? And yes, they are worth it :D Atleast you could sell em if you don't have anything to do with em.

Now there is the power cable! It goes from the original powerplug place (very well described :DD) to the top of the case.

as an electrician student I would say ''put a cover over that god damn it'' it won't be comfy if you touch two of them when It's plugged in.

Shit yes. Pot it in some epoxy or something :P

The place I was saying to run it was on the opposite side, should be even better hidden :)

Give it a go and if you like it the way you already have it better swap it back

Yeah i really do need to do that :D I think i will use hot glue, or make a small metal shield for it.
