This is another along the lines of "did this really work?"
Years ago when the G5 tower came out I had a need for more drives inside the case.
I started looking at the case and determined that 3.5" drives could be installed in the front of the case.
Notice how the fan just clears the HD. Very interesting . . . I think Apple thought of this during the design. Keeps them very cool also.
I am using this old single G5 1.8ghz as a backup server using Retrospect.
However OS X Server with these volumes for Time Machine would be very slick.
They fit perfectly and you can add 4 more drives in the space.
You can remove that fan by pulling on the handle. It just slides out.
You can then use the standard HD screws to mount the drive to the front screen.
You'll need a couple of power splitters to obtain power from the CD drive. I've run 4 drives off of it with out problems, but YMMV.
You'll need a SATA or ATA card and cables to connect the drives.
Put the fan back in and run disk utility to setup the drives.
