2005 Powermac G5 Gaming/Editing build

Hey all!

 

Last Thursday, I created a post regarding using a 2005 Apple Powermac G5 Case for my new gaming and editing rig, which can be found here: 

But today I have three new questions regarding the use of this case for my needs:

 

  1. This question regards the front IO on the G5 case.  How would I be able to hook up the front IO (Power, Headphone/Mic, USB and firewire) to an ATX motherboard? (specifically the Asus X99 Deluxe II)
  2. Secondly, would a Gigabyte Geforce G1 GTX 1080 GPU fit within the case using this rear ATX conversion mod (http://www.thelaserhive.com/product/g5-atx-kit-psu-holder/)?  What are the dimensions of the case and card?
  3. And lastly, how would I go about making the apple logo on the side panels glow white when turned on, just like macbooks

Thanks all again for taking time to answer! :D I will create a build log and video log when I begin this build, and I will post here for y'all to see!
