"Project: BlueIce G4" Page 2 - dismantle

When I took each part out of the G4 I put notes on a sticky referring to it. I did because everytime I have worked on something whether it be the vacuum cleaner or my car I always end up with extra screws/parts left over :-(

After I pulled all the pieces/components out of the G4 to get the the bare chassis I started planning my mod attack. Hmm would a window go good here or hear, can I put one here or here. Let me say the G4 is engineered very "tight" and I had to triple check my locations for window holes and placements for lights and wires and such. It's not at all like the PC cases where you can practically slap a window/mod anywhere.

Time to put my measurements into action. Onward . . .

Inside the 533Mhz G4, grab a screw driver and start pulling components.
Every component I pulled I marked with notes on a sticky. Yes, that is a Power Computing Mac clone in the background.
The chasis/skelton of the G4. Time to measure and mark what I will cut and drill. BTW, no, I do not have a work bench, hench "the bed" :-\
