The two sides of my Powermac. This picture is kind of pointless.

The last time I'll see the G3 decals... I think?

All Hooked up! It is nice to once again use the power button instead of a paper clip.

I was looking at the inside of my Power Mac G3 and decided that the Codegen PSU had way too many wires. So, I made the effort and cleaned up the inside of the case. I took out the molex connectors that I knew I was never going to use, and put the rest of the wires under my second dual hard drive tray.
The only loose wire that is not tucked away is the main ATX 20 pin connector. I didn't really feel like cutting all 20 wires and then soldering them to extensions. I did however cut that -5V wire off inside the PSU. It looks a lot better than having it looped over next to the connector.

In the bottom of the case I still have 2x SATA power connectors and 4x IDE power connectors.

I picture of the space between the PSU and DVD RW. I cleaned up this area quite a bit, by reducing the number of molex connectors from 5 to 2 and greatly reducing the length of the wire.

Notice the Zip 100 is not hooked up to the IDE cable. I'll probably cut the end off the IDE cable when I finally find something to replace the Zip drive.
