A new Modification: Apple G5 works with Athlon64!

[color=white]I have gotten pictures of a modded machine, Athlon 64 apple G5 that was made by a supper modder. Though this computer has not been finished modding, I’d post the pics out. [/color]

[color=white]

[/color]
[color=white]front[/color]

[color=white]

[/color]
[color=white]side[/color]

[color=white]

[/color]
[color=white]The clipboard of PCI devices area and CPU part; apple logo, is made of PMMA on the top[/color]

[color=white]

[/color]
[color=white]Side; he makes fan monitor circuit that monitors the air temperature of CPU area and PCI devices area on his purpose and is able to adjust fan speed automatically; the fan which is quite similar as Intel L775’s has 4 pins and PWM and is able to be set fan speed on Windows XP with the particular software utility, which is programmed by this guy. Also, DVD-RW can be switch on/off with the particular utility and there is not switch button.[/color]
[color=white]

[/color]
[color=white]LCD TV set, a USB LCD monitor is an extra-device that is put on the side. You can get more than 30 program channels when/for system running.[/color]

[/color]
[color=white]Side panel is modded to get colorful effect with “cover” method. Therefore, there is no “light pollution” after modding. And you can see 3D apple logo and AMD logo, it’s perfect![/color]

[color=white]

[/color]
[color=white]Tailor-made 400W power supply which is made by ETASIS server under the machine system, it is not easily found by us.[/color]

[color=white]

[/color]
[color=white]Liquid cooler is used for high-end system. To ensure the safety, modding this stuff requires customized cooler. For modding, this guy designed a system to detect insulating liquid speed with laser when it flows in cannula of cooler system， and when cannula is broken while liquid leaks, the laser system beeps and turn off the machine in 20 second automatically.[/color]

[color=white]

[/color]
[color=white]Liquid cooler module made manually[/color]
[color=white]

[/color]
[color=white]Side face of system, unfinished; this is the rudiment[/color]

[color=white][color=#000000][color=white]Covering it shot on side panel[/color][/color]

[color=#000000]

[color=#6f8daa] [/color]

[color=white]Rear interface; Interface circuits are re-designed. [/color]

[color=white]apple G5 and IBM compatible PC have much difference, so each part has to be re-designed. Athlon64 is used in the system with standard ATX. Everything including a little 4-pin plug of power supply has been modded except G5 casing. It is successful because of that everything is modded.[/color]

[color=white]Draw bench steel wire and PMMA is used as brace of the system on each component of this COOL machine including a fan cover. I can say this is the first super modification for G5. [/color]

Yeah me too. While the LCD screen and stuff is cool, making a custom macintrash case isn't that cool in my book. He should have made a walk in computer or something.
