Watercooled G360

Post by humakabula1 » Sun Feb 20, 2011 3:44 am

This is a new project, the idea is to put watercooled 360 in the case of a powermac G4 tower.
If you havn't already seen my 'week's loot' thread in forum 42 you should check it out, there is a picture with the G4 case im using.

Today i started stipping out one of the faulty ones i have, dont know whats wrong with it, it could of simply needed to have the OS reinstalled. i dont rally care now :P
If anyone wants to buy the apple parts from this computer PM me, i've got everything from the CPU to the PSU. all for crap cheap

Pics:

^Gutted G4 case, cut my finger a couple of times getting everything out of it...

^CD and ZIP drive cage, ill use this to secure the 360 dvd drive and ill have the hdd where the ZIP drive used to be
I am currently cleaning out the case, getting rid of dust etc.

Enjoy yourself with this while you wait for an update!

that looks like it will be good, would have had a very good use a few months ago, as my powermac g4's motherboard broke, sold it now so it doesnt matter though!

how are you going to secure the motherboard to the case, and how will the ports align with the back?

good luck with it!
