Congratulations, Zimwy. I absolutely love it. I'm impressed that you pulled through with the baseball exhibition case. Makes for a great story. How long did the actual conversion take you? A few hours? Or more like a few days?

I'm very tempted to do something like this to my aging iMac. I'm getting sick of the loud fans and it would be fun to have two large low-RPM fans to blow air through, like on the new PowerMac G5. OTOH, I should probably just get a new desktop.

Hey,
Thanks so much for your reply. It was actually a basketball case, not a baseball case. I should be done with that "How I did it" page by tomorrow, so if you want to check it again then, it should be more complete. Thanks so much for reading it.

I'd be more than happy to advise you in any way I can.

Nice job. That was an old tray loading iMac right?

Yeah, the Revision A-D tray loaders. It's a lot harder to do with slot loading iMacs.

I'm thinking of doing it with my Rev. B...see the other thread.

On a side note, anyone know the link to a certain iMac to acrylic case conversion? The guy hand built his own case out of acrylic...got a drill bit stuck in the plastic cause he drilled to fast...the case highlights were red (red cathode and such.) He spray painted the processor's RF cage red...ring any bells? I've been looking all over for this and I cannot find it. Could've sworn it was on AppleFritter, but apparently not.
