Make one. Get some 22 gauge steel, cut out some holes and tap some threads, fold with a bend brake and you're done. Easy if you have the equipment like I do lol.

Why do people even need removable motherboard trays? Can't they just use the motherboard tray in your case?

If you're just looking for a motherboard tray, then I would consider buying one from CaseLabs: http://www.caselabs-store.com/atx-motherboard-trays-pricing-varies/

Their quality is solid and the price seems alright.

Tis $80 for the atx.....

Another solution would be to get your powertools out and cut a motherboard tray out of a case. 

You could probably find a free/cheap case at a local thrift shop.

While I have very little experience with the G5 cases, wouldn't it be possible to mod the case to accept a regular ATX board.

Just get a dremel and a drill.

No. There is no way to mount motherboard standoffs. There is no motherboard tray, the motherboard is directly on the oppisite side panel.

That when you get your drill out. 

You could easiy drill holes that would allow you to mount the motherboard standoffs.

But you cant go all the way through, or it will stick out the other side.

No one says you have to drill all the way through. 

Although, you could run into a problem if you can't drill deep enough, since the standoff might not be able to hold the motherboard.

Yeah. Its thick aluminum, but I dont think thick enough to hold it securly. 

And the IO plates would be easier with a MB tray like I showed/
