G5 Unlocked by Nikkop

Project Log: Here

While we were writing this we were eagerly awaiting a Jailbreak for the iPhone 5 sitting on our desk. It's funny how some of Apple's products are brilliant in some ways, but begging to be released in others. Nikkop clearly thought something similar - his Power Mac G5's gorgeous chassis is just begging to be modded PC style and with a little help from Google's SketchUp, the project is well on the way to doing just that.



However, Nikkop is keen on keeping with the original style, so has removed the guts of the PSU and replaced them with those donated from a Fractal Design Newton R2. Fractal Design has also provided the fans - two 60mm models to cool the PSU and a smattering of 120mm's to replace the case fans.



It's a masterclass in Mac to PC conversion so if Nikkop's project has perked your interest, check out the project log using the link above and head over to the forum to cast one of your votes for it.
