Hi, new poster here!

I recently acquired a PowerMac G3 Blue and White case from a second hand seller and the internals were in bad condition, ie are corroded, water damaged and basically no longer work. So I'm interested in converting an old abandoned powermac g3 blue and white shell into an ATX case for my gaming setup.

Has anyone else tried this/ know of anyone here who has attempted such a thing with either a G4 or a G3? I've seen a few people on reddit do it but I've only seen it with a mini atx and not a full sized one. If all goes well, I would love to document my setup here!

Cheers!
 
You need to create (or purchase) a conversion harness for the power supply. I doubt this site sells the harnesses anymore, but they do show how to make them by model (including the G3).
