"Apple G5 Converted to A PC"
page 2
The power supply had to be removed; it was hidden away under the lower panel. I installed in an ATX supply with Velcro:
 When I showed my friend, who happens to love Apple, he looked sick. He did not say anything to me. He just put his hands on his head and was in shock. I wish I had a picture of that.
 It emits a green glow from the front...
 ...and back.
 It’s a good thing my parents don’t know anything about computers, because I’m sure they would be really angry if they knew what I did. I have to say that I'm happy - I can keep on using XP. The board is a Biostar Micro ATX, with a 2200 Athlon XP with an Adaptec 29160 SCSI controller and two 36 GB Atlas 10K V hard drives. I am stuck using the onboard video because there is no AGP slot. I had no money for a SATA controller and quite honestly, I swear by SCSI (the G5 comes with SATA drives). In the future, I want to get an Athlon 64 board and CPU with AGP support for a decent video card. I use it mostly for Internet, ripping music/DVDs and pissing off my friend. I put all the parts from the G5 into a box and gave it to my friend. He was rather happy. I think he is going to try to install them into his G3 - I hope he's successful.
