I don’t even know how many hours it took per case because I always did one individual operation to all cases (e.g. The metalwork (Filing, sanding, equalizing, gluing and painting) took a very long time.

Then I applied every individual operation to all cases, one after another. That’s why I planned every step and every purchase of parts, meticulously. O 32GB RAM (ECC Unregistered DIMMs) with Aluminium heatsinksĪ finished (painted) case from the outside.Īll the planning that goes into modding one case actually affected 26 cases. O biggest cooler on the market (BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro) Two 1080Ti in SLI (two flexible SLI Bridges were later installed) 64GB ECC-RAM (Registered DIMMs) with dual Copper heatsinks & Heatpipes 8-Core Intel XEON E5-1660 v3 (Overclocked to 4 GHz - all-core) Workstation & Gaming-Beast for my brother: Threads for the finished build projects will be linked here later: I already equipped two of the shown modded cases with complete hardware. I will definitively equip machines later and build completely custom machines I do not have the money to equip all cases with CPU, RAM and SSDs right now.īut it would be so much fun to do it, now that all the hard work is done. Of course, you can come and have a look if you are near the South of Germany (or the North of Switzerland). My mods include a preinstalled power supply (and even watercooling on some)Ĭountless hours of work and high-quality components & tools were used I believe in Apples high quality and the unique design of Sir Jony Ive I hope to be able and show everybody that it was worth it - And that someone out there is appreciating the work, as well. …to the dogs and the cat for waking them up from their afternoon nap every now and then (because of the metalwork-noise). …to my friends for neglecting them during the last months …to my family for occupying their workshop, guest rooms and garages

The project kept me busy during all of the winter. It was a rough 6 months from start to finish.

I am done now and it is time to share my experiences: Since it is impossible to find a G5 Case without dents and scratches, I wanted to paint them, freshly. Keep as much of the original design as possible This time I wanted everything to be perfect: I modded G5 Cases before – They kind of became my passion. They are now ready for ATX and mATX Mainboards…
