Amazing build @worrawoutv!!! 
could you share your experience and tips to convert the case?

I have exactly the same case to mod it soon.

What kind of screw holders do you use it? How did you pasted or soldered ?

Are the Pcie slots available?? I can see that your mobo is ITX but I would love to use normal ATX form and have all the pcie slots usable.

Did you changed the front usb 2.0 and FireWire?

have you polished and painted the case? 
 

thanks for your experience  

Also I have 4 more G4 cases haha so would be really cool to mod them too.

This is the how to connect the front panel.

 

And to cut the top inside of mac pro for ATX Motherboard.

 

And I used the white Acrylic for position of motherboard screws 

To mark position before cut of add tested also.
