Recently I had an accident and dented the bottom of my G5 case, fortunately I was able to find a replacement case on ebay for a very good price.
The problem I'm having is I thought the mac in question was air cooled and figured it to be of no problem to swap out the parts into the new case, it turns out that I was wrong and I have a liquid cooled mac.
Dose anyone know where I can get instructions on taking one of these bad boys apart, I don't want to have any more damage come to my mac.
Any help or comments will be appreciated.

Here is a service manual, don't know if it is the version suited for your liquid cooled G5 though…

Nope that's not it but thanks anyway

Does the damage prevent your machine from working properly? If not, I'd suggest not replacing the case -- the aluminum towers (especially the G5s) are constructed very specifically, and you run a very likely risk of rendering you machine completely inoperable by performing this transfer. A working machine with cosmetic damage is much more preferable to a pristine-looking machine that won't boot.

On the other hand, if the damage has a serious impact on the operability, you've got nothing to lose.

No it works fine.
The part that is bent is along the bottom edge where the computer sits about 4" of the frame got bent out and came unattached from it, a friend of mine suggested trying someone that dose body work like on cars to see if it can be repaired.
I am planing on selling it to help pay for the new PowerMac Pro I just bought.
Thanks for your advice.
