The Corsair H100i has 4-fans attached to it to create a push-pull airflow system through the radiator.

Motherboard mounted to the motherboard tray attached to the back-middle / top of the case using 15-or so screws and washers.Īirflow was another key consideration with the build.

CPU Cooler (H100i) mounted at the top-front of the case using a custom-built mount, JBWeld and Industrial Velcro.

SSD's mounted at the top-front of the case using Industrial Velcro.

HDD mounted at the bottom-front of the case using Industrial Velcro.

PSU mounted at the bottom-back of the case using Industrial Velcro.I always knew that cable management was going to be an issue (so I knew it wasn't going to look great inside) but since there wasn't a window on the case nor did I have any intentions of opening up the case very 5-minutes to look inside it didn't really bother me.Īgain, it took roughly 5-6 hours to put everything together. My case was completed and motherboard tray was mounted, so all I needed to do now was put the parts together. I made a little collection of parts at the back of my room ( as you do) which sat there whilst I prepared the case.Īnd so came the day of reckoning was upon us. I didn't really want to spend £45, but since it was in mint condition I felt that it would be a lost opportunity if I didn't.Īdditionally, I had ordered a load of my PC parts from places like Amazon, Scan, etc. I ended up purchasing a £45 case off eBay and spent 3-hours collecting it. Let me be the first to tell you that this wasn't easy. I started out by sourcing a Power Mac G5 that was in near pristine condition. Going back to the uniqueness, I knew of nobody who'd done something similar so along with my love for Apple - this seemed like the perfect PC build. I've always loved Apple products ( and still do) but when it comes to gaming there's no comparison. When I first decided that I was going to build a PC, I had already decided that I was going to build it inside a Apple Power Mac G5 case. It took roughly 1-week to build and assemble (excluding the weeks I waited to get my parts) and cost me roughly £2,300 all-together. Let me start my thread by saying that this is my first ever PC build.
