Can you buy the G5 Case?

Not white-market, you'd need to know someone at an Apple authorized repair center (if they can get cases) or buy one off eBay (broken or parted-out G4).

You probably won't be able to fit your typical x86 Motherboard perfectly, and the mis-alignment is going to be enough to throw you off.

all in all though, it's a beautiful case.

I actually like the Lian Li better thant he G5 case...more drive bays, but asthetically close enough to the G5 case. I even like the wheels. I was going to buy one for the next system I build.

I happen to hate the lian Li G5 looking case a lot. Looks like material is filmsy and has very poor structure integrity.

IMO, $200 for a G5 case sounds like a fair deal to me when you start comparing all other ~$150 aluminum cases. G5's finish is just much better compare to all pc auminum cases. Not even Cooler Master or Lian Li come close to G5 case.

Agreed. That lian li case is just plain out ugly. No comparison to the original g5 case.
