Hello everyone,

My two PPC MDD G4 have been pushed extensively over the years and their respective internals have become quite a mess (each unit is using an ATX PC Power Supply).

I'm wondering if anyone on these boards knows a modder in the Los Angeles region who can reshape / clean up the inside of an MDD? (extend the atx power supply cables, drill screw holes / attach the power supply to the case without velcro, add extra fans, etc.).

Maybe there are PC firms who already do this but, after looking at Yelp, I couldn't find anything tangible in the region.

Thanks.

Do you have any pictures of what it currently looks like?

Will post those next week-end. Am expecting new fans this week (Scythe Slip Stream for the main fan, Sunon for the optical) plus Arctic MX-4 (supposed to be better than the Arctic Silver 5) so I'll be "operating" both units. Am also adding a blu-ray drive for the fun of it on the dual 1.25 (I know PPCs can't play Blu-Ray but the price difference between a regular Pioneer combo drive and a Blu-Ray drive / DVD drive with the Addonics SATA adapter isn't much those days).

What do you use these machines for? Just curious :)
