The G5 ATX Cabling pre-wired cable set that I see ($107 shipped to the USA!!) includes the audio cabling, the power/LED cabling, and the USB2 cabling. MB & USB2 Questions: I have 2 USB2.0 5+4 pin mounts on the motherboard (in other words, 9 pins in a protected-by-plastic plug-in set of male ports). I tested and was able to power an AMD Radeon 580 without a problem.ĮDIT 1/8/22: While I haven't size-fitted everything yet (the motherboard tray is still on order from the UK), I may need a few simple, fairly standard motherboard power extension cables - the cable from the PSU to the motherboard's main power hookup is likely not long enough I'll confirm once the motherboard mount parts come in for test fitting. I got it on Amazon here: Amazon 8 pin CPU power to 8 pin GPU power cable. Should I have any cooling concerns with this 1U, original position PSU?īest path for hiding PSU "under" the G5: the SuperMicro PSU, $50.ĮDIT 1/8/22: To allow this SuperMicro PSU (which is VERY quiet and fits flawlessly in the PSU bay at the bottom of the G5) to work, a $15 cable to convert the 12V EPS 8-pin cable to an 8-pin PCI-e (GPU) cable is required. Simplest just to use the SuperMicro, and then get a few extension cables from Amazon if my motherboard needs it? Any thoughts? At $50 the SuperMicro PSU sounds reasonable. So to me that means I need to either get the 1U SuperMicro 605 PSU The PSU at a store in USA - or I need to hack something together to mount an ATX PSU (which sounds like a cumbersome effort).

Reminder: no modification to top shelf, MATX board, plus I have one AMD Radeon 5700 (with associated power plugs).
I'm very familiar with building PCs, but I'm not completely clear on the best way to lock down an ATX PSU into the case. Here's where I'm looking for practical help: Not clear on how that would be done since I'd likely use Noctua fans, and rewiring would be required.

I still have the lower shelf that fits under the PCIe cards, even if I'm not quite clear on how to mount that, but it's a consideration to put back in place, and maybe I could get a way to reuse the slide-in fan setups too. I can't see (in spite of the TonyMac guide) how to remove the top shelf, and honestly, as my motherboard is mATX, I see little reason to do so. I've removed everything except the top shelf (and the HDD case), and I've left the pins and mounts on the motherboard intact so I can pick and choose TheLaserHive or Doing-It-All-Myself once I decide. Hi! I have recently disassembled a G5 (Late 2004) case.
