Wiring can be routed under the motherboard and tidied away. This provides a few advantages. By mounting the PSU in this manner, you do not risk the voiding of your PSU warranty (as you would if you re-bodied your PSU into the G5 ATX PSU case), you do not need to make any internal extension cords to hook it up and you mount it as far back in the case as is possible – potentially freeing up a little more space inside the G5 and allowing a 5.25″ Optical Drive to be mounted in the original position. This kit includes an ATX compliant PSU mount at the top of the replacement backplate.

What is the “G5 Full ATX with PSU Mount” kit and why do you make it? Please note – there is no “Original” “Low” kit because there is simply not enough room on the G5 backplate to implement such a configuration.

You will need to either put your ATX PSU on the floor of the case and make up a small power supply extension lead to reach it or, if you choose to mount your PSU on the top shelf (it is a tight squeeze but it can be done), then you will need to make an extension lead and run it internally up to the top shelf area. Pros: This configuration does not need you to cut the top shelf and you can leave the HD Cage and Optical drive in their original positions.Ĭons: This configuration does not allow you the possibility of re-bodying your ATX PSU into the original G5 PSU enclosure.
