ѕӎѳѳ₮ңӌ Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Nice case you have there hacOSXuser! Amantheboy.... i must have deleted those pictures, i lost all interest in my g5 case when i got a mac pro. An unfuctioning logic board will probably not sell/for a few $$, cant imagine why anybody would buy a broken, out of date piece of silicon. If your placing your psu in the bottom of the g5 case where the original was then you dont need to do that wire hack i was talking about because the psu will be in the same place as the original, the only reason i brought it up was because i didnt know where you were putting it. ha whilst re-reading this whole thread i found this post i wrote a year ago. how ironic, now im after a broken, out of date piece of silicon.....

ѕӎѳѳ₮ңӌ Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 lol! well i would have been able to buy it anyways.... the postage to the uk makes me want to cry! any idea why my display name shows as smoomhy? it says smoothy in my account and said smoothy on the old board?

ѕӎѳѳ₮ңӌ Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Pics or never happend Just out of interest fabricio, how did you mount your motherboard tray in the photos posted on page 21 of this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabricioGS Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Oh.. that was just my first trial on the case. I disasembled the tray off an old case and glued it inside the G5 case But I've got to be honest, I'm still improvisating because I really can't find some internal parts here in Brazil and I'm not with an International Card ATM. I bought my case at www.allmac.com but it came without any inside parts. I'm really desperate to find three things: Front Panel Board (922-5979): http://www.welovemacs.com/9225979.html PCI Divider (922-6707): http://www.welovemacs.com/9226207.html Optical drive EMI Shield (922-6036): http://www.mac-pro.com/s.nl/it.A/id.2304/.f I replaced my pc parts (used to have a 775 board with a Q6600), and now i'm using a modular psu, but the position remains the same as the pics in page 21 (still a mess). My PSU and HDs remains on the same position as the picture. I already have a brand new tray prepared with 2x90mm fans but until I buy the PCI Divider (so I could keep the optical drive and the PSU above and the rest below it) I think there's nothing to do right now.

FabricioGS Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 also what cooler have you got on your 920 to get 3.9? Simply the best one: Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme + 1366 bolt-thru kit do you have no service centres in Brazil? Yes we have but they say they have some sort of contact with Apple that prevent them to sell those parts alone. They can only provide parts for a real Mac with a real Serial Number (I know..). can you expand on the gluing of the tray? i though that looked like what you have done... this thought is crossing my mind now... can you possibly post some more pics? what did you use? how strong is it? Well.. I don't know the name of this kind of glue in english, sorry but my vocabulary is a bit limited Is a glue used for metal and it's used by conbining two different components like this: For the HDs, I'm using a Thermaltake iCage: Then after mixing the two components, I had to place the tray on the case and something above it for a while: Later I was able to mount the real board for the first time: Some other pics: I'm at work right now, later at home I'll post some updated pics.

ѕӎѳѳ₮ңӌ Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 ha, this is essentially what i plan to do with the mobo tray. how strong is the bond? did you roughen the two surfaces before bonding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ѕӎѳѳ₮ңӌ Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 @smoothyboothy : http://www.jbweld.net/products/jbweld.php jb-weld ftw DiaboliK - thats what i plan to use... got loads of the stuff here. i used it back when i was at school to in my engineering classes. it wasnt strong enough for what i needed it for... i was lathing it and it failed... hence me asking about the strength of the bond. its possible i didnt quite get the mixture right... so im gonna make sure this time.. if it isnt strong enough ill try another route.

FabricioGS Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 ha, this is essentially what i plan to do with the mobo tray. how strong is the bond? did you roughen the two surfaces before bonding? It's not like a superglue wich actually happens to be something good, let's say.. in case you regret later But it depends mostly if both surfaces are very flat. In my case, the tray I'm using now it's not very flat and I had to apply like 3 layers to keep it steady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiaboliK Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 i do two applications, one to just get it in place and bonded. then once that is dried i apply another "safety" layer and let that cure. it holds my asus z7s plus 2x noctua nb-h9's. a great bit of weight just for those. -D- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baudouin Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Baudouin do you still have those logic board for sale? Anybody else got hold of some? Here are some pix smooth connectors views : Mobo upper side Mobo down side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ѕӎѳѳ₮ңӌ Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 how do you apply a safety layer after it has bonded? sort of smear it round the edges? i am worried about my mobo tray, as it is warped... ive tried to straighten it. i came home from the pub one night.... and basically annihilated my mobo tray, an old motherboard, my head and my back! good night!

th0r1 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I figured this would be a good place to post. I have a G5 case that I planned on modding but being a poor college student I don't have the time or the money so I'm going to sell it. $80 and doesn't come with the side door. http://baltimore.craigslist.org/sys/1061904569.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlazara Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Picked up a broken g5 at the local repair shop and I'm finally ready to get started! Am very glad I stumbled across this post because I had given up on keeping the back panel stock... but now I'm going to go for an internal mobo tray + extenders a la Nervous Chimp. Build will be x58/i7 once efi-x certifies x58 mobos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlazara Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 doh the DFI mATX x58 board doesn't have firewire... I don't really care that much about having firewire in my system, I'm just concerned about the front panel grounding... do I need firewire for that?

If I had an international credit card I would had already bought those parts from welovemacs.com. I really have no clue about the shipping costs but it would have to be sent by UPS, Fedex or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
