This is my new "Quadra PC", build on an old Macintosh Quadra 950 with an Abit NF7, an AMD 2800+, 80Gb IDE, LG Superdrive and a Matrox G550 DualHead.

Bye.

Mauro

Is this a joke? Is your hard drive really sitting on the base of the case? So you took an old Mac case and put a pc in it?

Cool mod. The old Quadras were awesome. Nice way to keep one sitting on your desk.

I kinda came acrossed it easily. 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.

Ebay has them, usually one or two floating around. 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...

Hey man, that is SWEET!

So, what kind of BIOS does that thing have? American Megatrends, Inc.? Award?

Now, if I could just turn my old Hewlett-Packard Brio PC into a Macintosh Clone....
