#462069 - 09/24/05 11:31 AM ATX Mac [Re: LymnCyncEcomb]
Draconis Registered: 07/26/05 Posts: 89	Well I need a case to cover up my Windoze mother board, HDD, ect. I was thinking a mac case for it but i'm not sure if any will fit an ATX motherboard. I would prefer to put it in a G4 tower case but any of the older beige mac cases are fine too. Any suggestions are welcome( Except destroying the computer). BTW it is only used for gaming. I would put linux on it but i can't get it to install. _________________________ "A wise man speaks because he has something to say. A fool speaks because he has to say something."

Draconis Registered: 07/26/05 Posts: 89	Yeah a G5 case would look awesome. they screw you on the shipping though. Is it possible to fit it into a G4 though? I'll have to look into Fedora. I tried ubuntu but it kept freezing on the instalation. I have heard good things about Debian too. _________________________ "A wise man speaks because he has something to say.

anil8tor Registered: 07/05/05 Posts: 409	yes I have heard good things about Debian also, but over the years I have had the best luck with Fedora, and Redhat befor that. I am watching some g5 cases that the shipping is not bad on. I dont intend to buy, just interested. if you want pm me and I'll send the links B) _________________________ Macbook 2.1 core duo 1gig 160gb sata iMac g5 w/1 gig 160gig all-in-one and SWEET! iBook G4 IGhz Quicksilver Dual 800's iPod touch "Guys, I think we just lost the platform here" Pete Conrad When in doubt, try SCE to AUX

Draconis Registered: 07/26/05 Posts: 89	I knew it was somewhere.I found where the PC in a 9600 was on this site. i did some measurements and found that any case about the measurments of a G4 tower should work. off to Ebay. _________________________ "A wise man speaks because he has something to say.

Draconis Registered: 07/26/05 Posts: 89	Apparently G5 towerscan't fit standard ATX mobo's. Oh well. Linkage _________________________ "A wise man speaks because he has something to say. A fool speaks because he has to say something." "I do not condone, nor suggest the use of PCs."- Maestro
