The original PSU is shorter and longer than an ATX supply and fills the bottom of the case. Replace the old IDE drive with a modern SATA one. Reinstall just what you need to to mount the drive.
Cut it shorter with a hack saw right where the 5.25in drive mounts end. You need to remove this piece to install the motherboard tray. By default it's mounted to this piece of sheet metal that runs the length of the case, parallel to the floor, dividing top quarter-ish of the case from the bottom. The CD/DVD Drive flippy-door-action is one of the coolest parts of this case. Also, unless your motherboard has FireWire header (probably doesn't), the FireWire port won't work, just FYI. You can find wiring diagrams for this online. Making a cable isn't difficult but requires some time and tools. The original front I/O cable will NOT work with an ATX motherboard. Make sure you use an INVERTED motherboard tray! Take a look at the G5, the removable side panel is on the other side of the case.(the motherboard will be "upside-down"). Anyone know where to get this cable.My current PC case is a G5 and I love it! I notice that the atx20/24pin psu connector to the motherboard is routed through the original g5 power button, is there a adaptor that changes the g5 psu switch output to the standard 24pin atx motherboard connector and the additional 8pin 12volt for the cpu? I've seen 3 or 4, and they all route this way, I cant see on yours if your g5 psu switch is routed to the motherboard so as to short the 13 to ground to start the psu, with the psu to mb connectors straight from the psu to the mb, or if its done the way aquamac and others are done, with nothing going to the onboard pins, and the 12volt 24pin/8pin psu +12 rail coming from the front case on off switch circuit board?ĮDIT: Just got off another board, they are doing it opposite of what I have followed here, they have the pinouts from the front power switch/fw/usb pcb board, and are making adaptors that plug into the headers on the atx motherboard (usb header, 1394 header) and psu power on. I notice that most of the g5's modded with atx motherboards in them no longer use the reset/psu/hdd led connectors.
