The GPU's and Memory can then go on a secondary loop. I'd like to keep the CPU on it's own loop with just the pump and radiator. I'm already going to be water cooling the CPU, so why not the GPU's and memory too. Having looked into water cooling a bit more, I'm thinking this is the way to go. One for the motherboard, one for a power supply and one for a CPU water cooling fan and radiator. I've also made a few dummy pieces so that I can figure out a layout and spacing that will work for me. This gives me 15mm of space when I mount a thin sheet of aluminium to the current spacers for cable management. I've left the spacers attached on the bottom, but removed the larger ones with a round head. There are plenty of other posts on here showing PowerMac G5 cases being dismantled, so I won't share that with you.īut, I have done it and am now the owner of an empty case Update 1: Emptying the PowerMac and some initial thoughts I look forward to sharing this experience and build with you guys and look forward to feedback from you.Ĭan you foresee any issues I might run into? These will be extensions from the motherboard with short cables so as to keep the case as minimalist as possible with the connections I need. Then, I should get all the components that I need for the front and back of the case. I guess the first step is to strip everything out of the G5 case to get a barebones case to work from and figure out dimensions correctly.
I've made a start with the drawings above, and can get the measurements from the AI files at a later date.
I'm going to predict that this is going to be a long, slow build as I have to get the parts together first.
