Although everyone knew someone would eventually do this to their g5, it seems that this guy got to it first.

I personally would have done it in blue although green does look good. Congrats Philbur, keep those mods coming.

When's adding a cold cathode tube a mod? That's actually pretty pathetic. No offense people.

Whether you like it or not, these are the real mods:

http://www.mini-itx.com/

and of course, there's the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. The king of FUGLY case... http://www.g-news.ch/articles/nhp200nc/

Nice.

Too bad the Specialist this guy works for is operated by a bunch of criminals who try to rip you off any chance they get. Can't wait for them to go out of business, which i hear is not too far off.

I second the opinion that that a light tube alone does not constitute a case mod.

Some of the other work on the page qualifies, including the neat-o green iBook paint job.

Yeah, ok not much of a mod, but it's nice to see variation. If you want to see a REAL mod check this out:

Ammo Case

...and if you have the belly, read the whole thread, I did
