30pin Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 I have a dead 500mhz Sawtooth. It has been sitting for awhile down in the basement. It quit one day , after a few attempts to revive it, it went to the basement. A motherboard from a 2005 Emac ended up in a box beside the sawtooth. Its the 1.42ghz model with the 167mhz bus. I do like the looks of the Sawtooth case.... What about putting the two together? Should I even consider such a thing?? Any thoughts on the matter??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bunsen Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Heck yeah, why not? Have a good look at some of the iMac and ATX-cased Mac hacks around the web. Do you have the original eMac power supply? That will save a lot of hassle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
30pin Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 The powersupply is in another box. But it is down there too! I am hoping to keep everything looking almost normal on the Sawtooth case. Will get all the parts together over the holiday and see how they might fit together. I like the modern features of the emacs G4 mother board. There is lots of room inside the Sawtooth case for adjustments. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bunsen Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Make sure you post plenty of pics along the way! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zerotypeq Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I may of lost the bookmark, but I found a french fourm for getting an emac running with an atx psu that could be adjusted to the g4 psu (just follow the pinout carefully) it also had vga pinouts some quick searches for emac atx conversion or something along those lines should lead you towards this information. (google translate translated it well enough that everything was understandable) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
