120mm Version looks great.
When it is possible to buy one of these?
My G5 is waiting to be modded 😉

December 8, 2012 6:09 pmHi Jayphizzle.
I will start shipping these in about 10 days. I have just 5 of these of each design in the first run.
I have done a test fitting today and all looks fine, so I am now accepting orders.
I will be putting a page up for these in the next few days, in the meantime I am accepting orders as from now.
The cost for the 120 ATX version backplate will be set as £55. The motherboard tray to go with it will be £25.EDIT: I have been looking at costs for these and want to make them as affordable as I can, so at least for the moment I am starting off with the following pricing structure: All ATX G5 kits will be as follows:
ATX backplate with IO shields and all necessary screws, nuts, etc to fit to the back of the G5 will be £50. Motherboard trays to put all the standoffs in the right place for the backplate and to use original fixing points will be £20 when bought with the backplate kit. ATX kit for 120 version will include the perforated mesh fan grill (again when bought as part of the full kit) will be a no cost option. So the bespoke full conversion will be £70 (original OR 120) $112 USD or €85.

December 12, 2012 10:09 pmPowder coating when included as part of a batch could be done at just an addition of £5. As a one off, then the cost would be £25.
FYI I am looking at a batch of items to be coated in January, so inclusion of any requests at that time would be the most economical way to proceed.
