Hi all,

We have just published the worklog for *Cyprio's Apple Core Duo mod*. If
you could post a link on your site that would be very much appreciated.

*/Modding an Apple G5 case had been a dream of mine for as long as I set
my eyes on it. In my opinion it is the ultimate case. Minimalist but
memorable. Sleek yet solid. Sexy yet... you get the point right? When I
found one on eBay for a very reasonable price, I snapped it up
immediately and then proceeded to stare at it for hours on end every day
after work. I would ask myself how one could take a Dremel to it and not
ruin its minimalist, sleek and sexy form... so begins the story of what
has taken over an enormous amount of my spare time over the past two years.

It has been quite a journey. Being new to modding I made quite a few
mistakes along the way. I learnt from these however and came back with
even more determination to get it right. Those of you who have been
following the project will have seen that I went through two different
front panel designs, had to redo the rear of the case after my initial
attempts failed and also got through three mirrored perspex side panels
due to 'chipping issues'. You will see two completely different perspex
Aquaero mounts and radiator covers and a lot more perspex mock-ups that
didn't make it into the final build. I even changed hardware and
watercooling components after I got sponsored... almost a year ago.
Heck, i've even moved house twice in the process!

Something about this obviously not being a PC case so every thing had to
worked out and made from scratch. E.g. brackets, mounting etc. I think
this is what made it a lot of work!/
