Is it possible to use conventional (non-Apple) motherboards, ATX power supply etc in one of these cases?

Re: Apple Power Mac G4 Case
not without heavy modding
if you want the look and a full size atx case, atech made a nice one. i have one. only beef is you have to dremel/saw the metal out of the metal part of the fan vent as it is horrificly restrictive to any airflow
the nice part is geeks.com has them really cheap... i bought mine there
theirs were originally fry's branded ones with 2 cd doors as opped to one (4 5.25 bays total either way). the dorky sticker they put on it can be removed to say fry's.
they have them on sale for $14.99 plus shipping... sounds too good to be true but it is not... i have a thread around here (my case suggestions thread) on it.

Re: Apple Power Mac G4 Case
i'll second that, it looks like it will work, but when you try the motherboard mounts & stuff dont align.
the same goes for the G3 - i tried.Comment

Re: Apple Power Mac G4 Case
if you drill and tap new holes, you can. in the article in my thread on the atech look alike case, tom's hardware mentioned people had done it. a PITA and if you f*ck up, you trash it. not for the fait of heart or the lacking in free time.sigpic

Re: Apple Power Mac G4 Case
This site gives detailed instructions on how to put a PC board in a G4 case:

I picked up the G4 Powermac case for $5, looks like an ATX power supply fits no problem.
You are limited to Micro ATX or Flex-ATX boards.
Looks like an interesting winter-time projectComment

Re: Apple Power Mac G4 Case
I did that in 45mins. I reppaced the power supply. Took like 5mins. Then i had myneighvor saw out the backplate area. Then i hotglued in a mini itx mobo. The hardest part was gluing a pc power button in there. I ended up using toothpicks
Then i ripped out he innards agsin a month later and built a much more inreresting shoebox pc. I csn upload pix if u like
And i no longer need the sawed out g4 case you can have it if you want if yure in san rafaelComment

Hi all!
I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅
I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

Hi all,
TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!
I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!
A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about... -
I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump
One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy... -
Bought myself a project thing. Apple MBP16" A2141 820-01700
No shorts, no visible waterdamage.
Dead. no history.
All USBC ports do 20V and charging battery.
If you plug battery/charger PPBUS is 12.6v and all power rails like RTC, 3v3, 5v etc are present. U7800 PMIC all voltages are present APART from PPVCCPRIMCORE_PRIM_REG (not sure if it has to be present at this stage?! resistance is 40 Ohm). SSD 2.5, 0.9, 1.8 are present on both wings. Charger meter shows 30ma or something like this on charged battery.
But what PMIC does is that it power cycles(dropping to... -
