POWER MAC G5 CASE CLONE PRO

The cheese grater g5 / mac pro towers really are amazing, especially when you find one in near perfect condition! You should totally pick one up from ebay since they are dirt cheap even if it's not going to be your primary case. Still kind of regretting not getting a cheese grater. I was looking for one to make something similar a while ago, then decided to make something smaller and ended up with a Ncase M1 instead.

The typical full towers with side windows I find really boring - I was using a corsair 900D before and I ended up selling it on.Ĭheese graters are some of the best looking computer towers, imo (I've got an even softer spot for the trash can.). I had seen the Mac troll one from when they were new and the cases were hundreds of dollars, and liked it, but the cases were hundreds of dollars. Its old news - they have been modding PCs into them for years now, but it seemed like an ideal project. Always been tempted to powdercoat the entire case matte black but the silver is pretty stunning as it is, besides - most cases are black so I do like the change. Then, I stumbled across a PowerMac G5 case.

Then I decided to hackintosh it, so it's the closest thing to a Mac without actually being one.

Since I'm probably not going to get either without going down the DIY route maybe I should just get a bunch of rackmount cases so it at least looks like a proper computer. I think I want something that either looks like an Apple 2/BBC Micro/other 'golden age of home computing' fat keyboard or a bit of 50s-themed mystery electronics like you'd see in the SF B-movies. There are a few interesting hobbyist cases out there such as the 'everything on display' in a perspex box looking like Blakes 7's Orac, or something that looks like a 1940s radio because it is a 1940s radio, but I don't have the skill or effort to do either.

I also admit that boring is at this point largely a matter of taste and I'm being a malcontent. Now the desktops typically look like some boring audiophile equipment (well okay, that's by intent and it's kinda what you'd want in your sitting room if it's running your telly) and the midis look like they've travelled through Half Life 2 and picked up a bunch of neon-lit angular black metal on the way but they're still boring. It's that time again: I need a new case for my gaming PC (admittedly for values of 'need', but my motherboard doesn't fit well as they seem to change the location of the stand-off points every couple of generations, and its airflow isn't ideal) so I've been looking at what's out there and I'm filled with an overwhelming sense of meh.Īdmittedly, they're not as bad as they used to be where the choices were a beige monstrosity in the form of a desktop or midi tower, but really they haven't come on all that far.
