So you took an old Mac case and put a pc in it? _________________________ "Fix it 'til it Breaks."

Some guy managed to screw up his g5 and his fans fried. we went by the rules and gave him all his old stuff, in a new case with new fans, and I got to keep this guys old case. vSo ask around at your local mac resellers. _________________________ Mobile-2.2Ghtz Core 2 Macbook, 4GB ram, 160GB HDD Server-Dual 1.42 MDD G4, 1GB ram, 4 random hard drives.

Anywhere from $200-$300 for the (New) empty case though... While I would like to see Apple systems in Apple cases, I can certainly see the draw to stick a PC into a G5 case. I think if it is done well, it can be a really nice mod...
