Thank you for all the responses to my query - they're really helpful.
I'm usually pretty handy with Google but must have lost the plot this day -
I was trying "pmg5 build" - doh.

Subject: [cctalk] Apple G5 Rebuild
Hoping there's an Apple enthusiast out there somewhere please.
A friend gave me a PM G5 which I'd love to add to the Apple corner of my
collection. Must admit I love the G5 case. Problem is the internals are in a
million pieces but everything seems to be there. Its not a basket case, more
like a bucket case because I took the side off and basically poured it all
out.
My options are.
Toss it
Use the case for an ATX conversion
Use it for a letter box
Have a crack at fixing it.
I like having a crack at fixing things first. I'm a preservationist first.
Problem is my GoogleFoo can't find any diagrams, illustrations etc on how
the internals are put together and I'm hoping some Apple person out there
might have something or be able to point me somewhere. (I did find some
photos at
https://www.overclock.net/threads/power-mac-g5-build.1452312/ for
a twin CPU model but I need more detail for a single chip 2.0 GHz PowerPC
970MP (G5) model.)
Thank you.
