Hi,
Welcome to my build thread for my first ever pc build which happens to be an UnRaid NAS in an Apple Mac G5 case. I have never owned a PC let alone built one, but as all of my films are being ripped to ISO format I am rapidly running out of space (not to mention my Lossless music files).
We are a mac only household that consists of iPhones, iPads, MacBook Pros, Mac Pro, Mac mini and an Apple TV and a 27 Thunderbolt Display. Which is why I have decided to build my NAS in a G5 case as it will be sat next to it in my home office. Being a Graphic Designer we are a slightly annually retentive bunch and we like things to match.
Several months ago I bought an empty case to convert which you can see here. They really are massively over engineered and offer a lot of scope if your prepared to get you hands dirty. Over the next few months I didn't do a lot apart from start collecting parts for my build. I also had an excuse as I have being having a few health issues (Graves Disease, Hyperthyroidism and Thyroid Eye disease) which has delayed my build a little. But I have managed to collect a few parts which I'll list at the bottom of this first post as it will become updated as I progress.
Having now had a Total Thyroidectomy (I won't share the 6 inch scar photo) I am ready to begin.
