Yet Another PC-Mac Case Mod 91
JayPee writes "Fortunately, this mod doesn't involve destroying a brand new G5 for its shell. (And yes, I know the G5 was a "hoax"). Instead, the modder used an old Macintosh SE case for his gaming computer. While I'm sad that he wasn't able to use the old black and white display in conjunction with the LCD, I'm still amazed that he was able to deal with the heat issues that I'm assuming would pop up by stuffing a higher end PC and video card in a Mac SE case." This mod is technically impressive, and looks great.

The Apple monitor and keyboard sort of make sense, if you reason that he wants to make a Windows box look like a Mac, but I kind of think the theme gets muddled: PC in old Mac case, with new Apple monitor and two-year-old Apple keyboard.
On the other hand, using a PC monitor and keyboard probably wouldn't have looked any nicer. Anyone know how PC hardware handles the special keys (command, option) on Apple keyboards?

I have an Apple Pro Keyboard hooked up to my PC. Option is Alt, Command is the Windows Key.

Oh, and since prockcore didn't spell it out, the "Command" key is the one with the apple and the cloverleaf on it, if anyone's confused.

Actually, volume up,down,off and eject all work under Linux. I think volume up and down work in Windows, but eject doesn't.
And F13-F15 map directly to Print Screen, Scroll Lock, and Pause.
It does take some getting used to though, because the "windows" key and alt are swapped.

As one of the other posters noted, it appears he would like to play some games on it.
