Well,
This weekend I bought a few cases of beer and Took charge of a long over due Mod, I'm very happy with the results of the mod as well.
Last thing to do is wire up the front panel, but after looking over everything, should be very easy, just have to take my time.

Great work... I wanted to go a G5 Mod for the longest time. You've made that look really easy :-P Throw in a few case fans hide away some of the cables add a little more lighting (maybe a disco ball :-p) sorted...

nice one.

Thanks Joe,
Sadly it only took me a day, but I also spend a good amount of time double checking everything before I started cutting

This thing is a screamer now that I figured out how to edit my bios so both cpus are working now.
