I have had this G5 sitting around for a while, so time to get started. I am attempting a Mini-ITX motherboard (Asus Q87T with i7-4790) and the MacTester57 / Kiwi SMC Kit V1.0 on this one. No formal fitting yet, just a rough layout and some parts on order. The back panel ports should all work including Firewire 400 (tested in Mojave and working), with the only replacement being the old Mac video port converted to Mini-DP. The DVD drive will not be used, instead a 27-in-1 card reader and dual USB3.0 ports will replace it. Using original screen (TMDS converted to HDMI), original PSU, original speakers. The CPU cooler is the Intel Thermal Solution HTS1155LP (entire motherboard and cooler at 1.0" inches of depth)
