All started with a blowhole, because i bought new GigaDesigns Dual 1.2Ghz CPU. It runned very hot, so i thought that i can do a blowhole in the top. For first i cutted it with a simple driller. the hole looked very ugly and i was to lazy to do it right.
So i sticked in a Revoltec Blue LED Fan. I added a FengShui LaserCut Grill (Copper). I was satisfied. But i am a perfectionist. So i went to my local shop to buy a Dremel.
Then i simply cutted out a square of metal and i cutted a hole. For last i added foam around the hole, to finish the work.
A shot of the Grill.
The Blowhole.
A Picture of the Top.
Later i was so happy with my Dremel, that i cut a 120mm hole in the left Panel. I covered it with a 120mm Standard Chrome Grill.
A next part was the painting. My mac was now very cool, but something was missing. I decided to paint the Front and the Top of my G4. I went to a paintShop and bought some cool skyBlue Color.
The finished PowerMac G4 with a chrome plate.
Notice the reflections.
I primered the two parts, and later i painted them in this beautiful color.
The hardest part was to put back again the front.
How you can see there are some details like the stickers on the sides.
I decided to add some LED's in the handles. Every LED has got a resistor. This method is much safier then the parallel's one. Behind the Apple Logo is also one red LED. It wasnt very easy to manage all cables for the lighting and all.
I wanted to do a contrast between exterior and interior. So i painted the HD Cages, the Panel of the PowerSupply etc. The result is very cool.
I have covered all cables with wireLoom in black.
I made LED for the handles. I used a SpeakerCable, and the i used one strip for - and one for +. So i sticked in 4 LED's. For last i connected the Cable with the LED's to the PowerSupply. Thats it !.
The Panel of the PowerSupply is painted.
All Cables in WireLoom.
The HD top is polished.
Also here my flashed ASUS 6800 GT.
With the the help of TheMacElite (formerly strangedogs) i had the chance to flash my ASUS 6800 GT.
I hope you enjoyed my PowerMac G4, and i would be proud if you vote for my Mod.
Thanks to you
