Hi all! I don't where to start... So I am a french canadian(sorry my english is not perfect :P) and I build PC since many years. I always have been a fan of aluminium cases in particular Lian-Li cases. I also have been a fan of the way Apple design few things like the old line up of Mac Pro/Powermac G5. Long story short, I grabbed a 2004 Powermac G5 case almost two years ago and I modded it to fit a small configuration to use it as a NAS. It was a good challenge! Seeing that i don't use the NAS anymore, I decided to transfert my main rig into the case but some things it needs to be improve.
Here is the specs:
-Intel 4670K
-Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 CPU Cooler
-Mushkin 2x4gb 1600Mhx 9-9-9-24
-Gigabyte GA-Z87MX-D3H
-Galaxy Nvidia GTX 660ti
-Corsair RM650 PSU
-2x SSD (Adata and Kingston HyperX)
I don't game too much so I don't need a freaking big powerful rig. XD I may be want to watercool at some point but may be just in the future. For now, I will concentrate on air cooling. ^^
I designed new plate to route the cables better than before and another one to hide the top section! I will also use only 2 SSD in the build so it will look soo much cleaner without the HDD cage. Keep in mind that I want to preserve the original look of the case. So I will keep the finish of the plates raw.
So here is the pictures!
This is before! I realize that the place of the cable was very wrong. XD The new routing will be WAYYY BETTER!

I also started to sleeve! Black/Dark and light gray/couple purple sleeves. Looks awesome in my opinion!
I would agree that the color scheme looks awesome. Are you adding any other purple accents?
Hi guys! I just finished to build the rig! I am satisfied with the results considering the means I had. I encountered few problems during the build process but these will help me to build THE perfect mATX conversion Version 3 if I do in the future!
