Yeah I'm a bit of a whore that way. I'm actually meeting with the water jet guy today to get a price

Fixed.

[Detale]

LOL, you know me well my man

[clocker]

And vice-versa.

The earliest G5 mods really concentrated on keeping the case exterior as stock looking as possible. The idea being to create a sleeper style conversion that didn't scream "PC Inside!".
One guy was even attempting to unsolder the motherboard I/O ports and extending them so they'd interface properly with the case backplane layout.
Can't remember how that turned out...I suspect badly.

Those were the olden days though, you kids have no respect and feel OK hacking away on the G5 as though it were some garden variety Thermaltake case.

Speaking of Thermaltake...I was stunned to see that Microcenter actually stocks the Thermaltake Level10 case...I got to see it in person.
Not bad really, but I was afraid to check the price- I'm guessing north of $900.

Anyway, given the plethora of nice cases available today, I'm not sure I'd mod the G5 beyond whatever it took to get PC components into it...meaning, NO FUCKING WINDOWS!

[Detale]

Yeah but this will be a special window. you may even like it, well prob not. You know how I am man. I got a price on the cut BTW about $60 not bad at all. i though it would cost much much more.

[clocker]

Oh, a "special" window...well, OK then.
Bring it on.

Now I'm starting to eye my G5.
Damn.

[Detale]

C'mon old man, show me what the G5 mod is supposed to look like. I double dog dare you

[clocker]

Is that a gauntlet I see being thrown down?

Hmm.
I may just take you up on that...dueling G5 mods.

Gonna have to wait a bit though...I just bought some leather seats for my car and need to get the Corbeau's out so I can sell 'em.
Which means I have to install these and naturally, it's cold as hell and snowing...my favorite weather to spend some real quality garage time in.
What I won't do for a few bucks...

[Detale]

LOL, I'm the same way man. My real build isn't going to start until next week any way. I still haven't ordered any parts yet. I wanted to wait until after Xmas to order, then I have to wait for the stuff to get here.

You gonna pick up that glove or what?

[clocker]

We'll see.

At any rate, I can tell you're not up on your challenge etiquette...
T'would be unseemly for me to touch the thrown gauntlet, it's properly dealt with by my second.
Since my second is also my butler and he's more than occupied preparing the Christmas repast, it'll just have to wait till he's discharged his domestic duties.

Sheesh...noobs.
