Conversion of a Power Mac G5 to microATX with a USB 3 front panel. For ATX boards, you can find USB 3 adaptor cables which have a USB 3 connector on one side and a matching connector for ATX mainboards on the other. Exactly what I needed! With a bit of luck, it should be possible to position those USB 3. This is not a tutorial, just a tour of the completed project. Updated picture here: Let's take a look at the finished product! G5 Full ATX conversion kits These kits are available now in “Original”, “High 120”, “Low 120” and “with PSU mount” versions. For full details of the various kits – including now our range of FULL ATX kits and for detailed pricing information please see the drop down menu pages from the menu bar. The kit mounts in the same way as the G5 kit using shelf mountings and lower case mountings to fix the tray in place inside the Mac Pro casing. Mac Pro ATX kit with PSU mount The rear of the Pro kit fits as shown above to allow a full ATX board to go into the Mac Pro casing.
I have an old power mac g5 case which I'd like to re purpose into my new editing pc, and I am wondering if it uses a proprietary form factor motherboard, or a standard form factor motherboard like atx, micro atx, or mini itx to know if I'd have to do some case modding or not, thanks for all replies, and I know I will need to mod the cables within the case like the power button, so no need to make note of that! Also, I know it would take less effort just to get another case, but I'd like to work on this case.
This conversion replaces the original G5 or Mac Pro front panel with an ATX compliant switch panel with laser cut brushed aluminium front plate. Kit includes 4 x nuts, 2 x 40mm screws, laser cut front panel, 2 x U brackets, Lian Li front panel product and 16mm push switch with.
