What CloudyDOSH is suggesting is not the normal way to install a mod. Maybe it does work that way with JSGME, I don't know.The way I put it you are not installing any mods on the game you are putting them in the proper location so that with JSGME you can one click install/disable any/all mods you want to. I wanted to explore the idea of a simple G5 case mod. The spectrum of difficulty for a G5 case mod is very broad ranging from water-cooled, powder-coated, and tricked-out to something simple. This mod explores the simple end of the spectrum. This case mod was completed in one day, once I had obtained all the parts. Also, I had a bunch of 'spare parts' lying around that I wanted to put to good use. Installing Mac OSX Lion 1) Used 'Install Max OS X Lion.app' v 10.7.4 and built a UniBeast USB Installer on a 16GB USB Flash Drive Building the UniBeast installer took 12 minutes. 2) Download BridgeHelper5 and Install onto USB Flash Drive. This provides support in Lion 10.7.4 for Ivy Bridge Processors using the Native mach_kernel vers 11.4.2 3) Enter PC Bios and Load Defaults and ensure SATA mode is set to AHCI Ensure High Precision Event Timer (HPET) is enabled. (This was the default) Save bios settings 4) Insert the USB stick into PC and Boot and Install onto PC (this is detailed in step 1 instructions) 5) Do a Software Update to latest version (10.7.5) ** for some reason, the Ethernet jack is working! ** 6) Reboot the USB stick, and choose to boot into the Lion Installation. Hi Chaos Love the work as always, one day is impressive. 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. • 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? • 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. It should only take a minute of so to do this, and depending on the MB, gain access to a few additional ports. • Cooling: I notice you don't have any case exhaust fans, how are the temps inside the case? Two simple suggestions to improve this. • 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). Cut and fold the cardboard, Use sellotape to attach to the PSU. This should be trivial and could improve temperatures. • Mount a single case fan, screwed directly to the mounting bracket in your pictures. This just requires the purchase of a fan, four holes drilled through the plastic bracket, four screws and attachment to power. Hi Chaos Love the work as always, one day is impressive.

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. I was thinking the exact same thing. I gave this a lot of thought. Keeping the build modest also kept down the heat generation. The temps are great! It idles between 32 and 37 degrees C, and peaks at 50 during a Geekbench. The G5 case is amazingly porous. I'm only running an i3 and I am not over clocking, so not much heat is generated. There is so much open open space in the case that no heat can really build up. It simply flows out. The power supply is idling for the most part and is cold to the touch.
