![]() ![]() The top panel of an old case gave me material to start making my custom panel that would be fixed in place with epoxy adhesive and probably riveted in place later. The I/O back plate of a CoolerMaster ITX case gave me this result. While I had an old case that I could tear down to give me the motherboard and expansion slot mounts it felt that adding the PSU mount to this would take more work again.įortunately this is problem that other smart people have figured out so I opened every ITX case on a local parts site until I found the case that could inspire me to find the solution. Seeing as the original Mac I/O back plate was not going to work with my proposed set up I removed this and started figuring out just how the heck I was going to find or make a new I/O back plate. ![]() Putting a PSU in there with a motherboard made it obvious I'd need to limit myself to an mATX board to keep things in a BTX configuration as I felt more comfortable with the PSU above the water loop for safety given that this is my first custom loop. An evening of pulling all the custom components and mounting points from the chassis allowed me to start determining how much space I really had to work with in there. So I titled the project "The Dominator" ( original image).Ī big challenge for the mod was figuring out how to mount a standard mATX motherboard and PSU in the G5. For this I'd need to incorporate the teal glow, a dark matt finish and as a final addition wooden grips on the handle. The design inspiration I settled with was the Dominator - the overkill weapon featured in the anime series Psycho Pass. ![]()
