Re: G5 case mod - Hackintosh
Most of the industrial wiring I've seen in more recent years isn't that nice. The one place I worked at in the 90's had been in business since the 1930's, and pretty set in their ways... so every wire was cut to the exact length, and bundled together perfectly with zip ties. They also used a lot of different colors of wire instead of wire number labels, which also made it look cool. Now you normally just see black, red, green, and white wires in the plastic wiremold channel, so they can shove any excess wire in there and hide it without obsessing over the aesthetics. I remember there was one machine that needed a really thick ground wire, and you could only get that gauge in black... so they had me cover the entire wire in green heat shrink tubing... most electricians would just wrap green tape around the ends.

Re: G5 case mod - Hackintosh
I'm appalled at the stuff I see from small system builders. The big OEMs are nearly as bad. I'm only familier with G4 and up stuff as far as macs go.

I've heard from a lot of people that old macs have a lot of gold content in them, so they have scrap value for the gold, but now it seems like their value as an antique is far more than that. I junked a lot of old macs that simply had no value at all a few years ago, but would now sell for a few hundred dollars just because there are people who collect them now. Still have my iicx though.

Re: G5 case mod - Hackintosh
beige G3 Desktop, open:
http://www.mactech.com/2004/09/12/clear-g3-case-mod Also note the picture below it of mac guts mounted in a fishing tackle box! Powermac G3 AIO teardown: http://ifixit.dozuki.com/Teardown/Po...eardown/2138/1 The All in one wiring is messier than I remember it.. but the way the back of it opened like a drawer was cool. The biggest problem with it was you couldn't fit a full length PCI card in it, but it was a great alternative to an imac for digi 001 owners. The biggest PCI card I ever fit in one was a sample cell II plus, which is about 2 inches or so shorter than a full length card, due to the RAM being soldered on. I did have to do some surgery inside the aio and cut out some metal for the SCII+ card to fit in there though.... and if I remember right it only fit in the outermost slot. The AIO would make an interesting macquarium... though I think a G3 imac would probably look cooler.
