Adding 2 Extra Drives to a G5

Posted by timothy on from the driven dept.

Dave Calhoun writes "The G5 tower is a work of art but Steve only provided two hard drive bays. Some of us need much more than that and don't want a stack of external firewire cases. So I found a way to add two drives inexpensively. They sit between the front of the G5 grill and the CPU fans."

    Wrong. Jonathan Ives only provided two hard drive bays.

    The G5 case is a joke. That damn thing not only limits you with only 2 internal drive bays it also dose not allow you to have a second optical drive or anything else. the front panel is all bare and boring. The last generation G4 case was a work of art.
