There is so much open open space in the case that no heat can really build up. I'm only running an i3 and I am not over clocking, so not much heat is generated. The temps are great! It idles between 32 and 37 degrees C, and peaks at 50 during a Geekbench. Keeping the build modest also kept down the heat generation. The reason I didn't use the original G5 drive cage is because I used it in one of my other G5 mods, and this build is for my 74 year old father who thinks 500GB is utterly huge! Also, those hard drive rail mounting screws are worth their weight in gold, so I will be using them in another build as well.ДЈ. This just requires the purchase of a fan, four holes drilled through the plastic bracket, four screws and attachment to power. Mount a single case fan, screwed directly to the mounting bracket in your pictures.This should be trivial and could improve temperatures. Cut and fold the cardboard, Use sellotape to attach to the PSU. Use thin cardboard to create a cowling for the PSU, so that air is sucked in/out of the case rather than just recycled (see picture).

Cooling: I notice you don't have any case exhaust fans, how are the temps inside the case? Two simple suggestions to improve this.

It should only take a minute of so to do this, and depending on the MB, gain access to a few additional ports.

IO Port Access: I would suggest trimming off the bottom few millimeters of the plastic fan bracket (see picture), this is a trivial cut compared to cutting the aluminum.

HDD Mounting: Any reason why you didn't re-use the apple HDD mounting frame, not that its technically needed, but keeping it doesn't add any time to the build does it?.

Not wanting to add considerably too much, this is meant to be minimum build after-all, would you consider he following improvements to the build. Love the work as always, one day is impressive. USB 3 ports (not tested at USB 3 speeds)

This case mod was completed in one day, once I had obtained all the parts. This mod explores the simple end of the spectrum. The spectrum of difficulty for a G5 case mod is very broad ranging from water-cooled, powder-coated, and tricked-out to something simple. I wanted to explore the idea of a simple G5 case mod.
