Well, let’s start with tools we highly recommend having on hand. I’m just starting out – what tools do I need? If you’re just starting out, this should be considered required reading, as it offers some great general pointers that are tantamount to an easy, successful mod.Ĭontributions by Gradivis, David from The Laser Hive, SirKeldon, Baudouin and various others. Through collaboration with several G5 modders (several of whom have multiple G5s under their belt) we have come up with the answers to the following commonly-asked questions. On top of all the guides and tutorials, we wanted to offer a general FAQ for all of those little bits of information that don’t quite require a guide. Notice we’re missing something you think deserves to be on this list? Use the contact form in the menu bar to let me know and I'll add it! The final section will cover the details of modding the G5, including guides, diagrams and mods. Pinout and tutorial for modding the Powermac G5 front panel for ATX motherboards. Contributions to the FAQ are welcome, and you will be credited. This should be required reading for anyone wanting to mod a G5 and will answer many initial questions. Already modded a G5? Send me a photo or two and I'll include them here.Ī FAQ has been started covering many basic (and more advanced) topics. Clean mod, custom motherboard plate, original PSU casing – these are all things that you are going to want to think about and decide for yourself. The first thing any of us would suggest you do (after reading the FAQ), is take a look at some of the mods people have already done to get some inspiration. Any images presented here remain the property of their respective owners, and are shown here for instructional purposes only. This is the original G5 resource page – some links may be outdated but I have tried to port over as much info as possible. You will need a good amount of tools, parts and know-how, which is exactly why this resource page came into being. That said, modding one for mATX/ATX isn’t just a matter of replacing the motherboard. Many of us are drawn to the G5 (and mac pro) cases by the sheer elegance of their design, and there’s no doubt that they are beautiful outside and in. There are hundreds of steps, with plenty of muttered curses and band-aids along the way but don’t let that put you off! It is one of the most enjoyable case mods (and cases) that you can put your time into. He hadn't made it easy for us - modding Apple's Powermac G5 and Mac Pro cases is a rewarding - but very complex - project. We took issue with Apple's hardware/software policies, but really loved Jonny Ive's cases. Way back in the day, I ran a couple of niche sites called and with help from SirKeldon and contributions from many others.
