[QUOTE="MAC-simus, post: 209759, member: 2338"] G5 has a specific thermal management and the case is a crucial part of it. in theory you can put mac internals in different case, but if you do so, most likely you will either fry it (G5 CPU gets really hot) or end up with it sounding like a vacuum cleaner. no need to worry about expansion. several companies (you can search on google) offer HDD mounting kits, that will increase number of internal drives up to 5, if i remember correctly. there are also external SATA port multipliers available.
