AHAHAHAHAHA interesting choice in words rally.

But i was going to say chemming game bomb II would be the closest. There however have been people that modded a G5 case to fit a AMD.
 
p180 sucks. its cramped more then a can of sardines

if you put in like 78gtx or 79'z

forget that HDD cage in front of it. i had to remove that cage to fit 2 cards . and made a plastic air duct for the GPUs instead
 
I agree that the Chenbro Gaming Bomb II (unfortunate choice of name! - now called simply the PC-61566) was the best effort in approximating the G5 case (absolutely top quality - top to bottom, inside and out). Unfortunately Chenbro isn't high in marketing skills, so it was withdrawn from the US market. Now you'll almost have to import one yourself to get one. Several companies from V-tech to Codegen to Linkworkd now have attempted other copies. There was a German company that gave a try at a similar case and it may still be found at some specialty shops. Try places like jab-tech.com, xoxide.com etc. eWiz.com still has some Codegen Briza models. I third the motion that that linkworld effort seems to leave a lot to be desired.

If you just want a case that is unusual and with an Apple-esque feel to it, take a look at the Just PC Gazelle - Newegg et al. carry it. jab-tech has (had?) a similar design under the Nexus brand.

.bh.
 
I wanted a Chenbro Gaming Bomb II, a few places had them but in the US they are gone now. I still keep my eye open on ebay. Need to find out how much it would cost to import, the case wasn't exactly cheap in the US to begin with I think importing would be redicliously expensive
 
wow, those genuine g5 on ebay are nice!!!!!
what kind of mods do i have to do to get an atx mb in?

thanks!
