Hello everyone!
Welcome to my latest worklog! Last Saturday, I got into a battle with a wood router - and lost... As such, I've come into a few weeks off work while I recover (sadly, my left index finger will never be the same,but the painkillers are wonderful) so I spent a few days searching for a new case mod project.
In an odd turn of events, I found someone selling a Dual 2ghz Powermac G5 on Kijiji for 100$. I picked it up (with full intention of using the g5 guts as a nostalgia machine!) and low and behold - It was the SAME tower (serials AND mods matched up) I sold to a Craigslist user in 2008 - for about two grand!
This tower was my favourite computer of all time - and to buy the very same tower back, 5 years after selling it second hand... Well, it was a sign from the heavens above .
This mod is quite ambitious. I have a lot of things planned, from a custom watercooling system to a nice high-gloss paint job - this will take a few weeks, especially with my other projects on the go (which I will also update here - might as well)
So stay tuned for an awesome G5 conversion... And a great mod on one of the nicest cases in computing history
Cheers!
