1.7Gb of RAM on it :shock:

Wonder if the PCB is white? But, going by the colour just above the PCI-e connectors, I would say not :(

Does look very nice though. IMO, a black PCB with white aftermarket cooler would just look divine.

Would be nice under UV.

looks great by itself, but would it suit the rest of the rig? it wouldn't look right in mine =/

I've seen a few VERY nice rigs, all in white, it would look nice in them, but they're usually W/C though,..,

Looks okay, but I'd rather see a good quality, quiet third party HSF.

Agreed, a waterblock would also be an acceptable option :twisted: :geek: :twisted:

Still, for a modding project or something (I'm thinking PC in G5 PowerMac case sprayed white with a massive window in the side panel and either UV or bright white lighting inside), it'd look good and offer adequate performance.

Good idea - don't forget to post a pic if you do make one - I've sure the Mac Bois would love it :twisted:

As an aside, would you be able to install OS X on a separate hard drive / partition? - it would comply with the licence T&C, at least the part that says it must be an Apple badged computer ;)

Further ideas from some who have played with a G5 case here: Clicky

You are now tempting me and this is bad - a mod like this probably wouldn't be cheap. I'd end up wanting blue or white lighting all round and probably watercooling (at least on the CPU, maybe GPU(s) as well). I reckon some logo, maybe the Apple logo would look awesome if it was sandblasted or etched in to the massive side window I was thinking of.

Anyway, I'll look for cheap Powermac cases on eBay and maybe consider putting a budget build in the case until I get the money to do something insane.

Yes, I could (but probably wouldn't) put OS X on it - the Mac users here would want my head on a slab for doing that :lol: :twisted:
