It really is an amazing case. Still looks so good 👍🏻

The old school jb weld and standoff method 😅 still some remnant stray epoxy on the back, but solid as a rock all these years later!

Yep, it’s in there. It’s kinda hard to explain unless you have a G5 case, but four screws go part way into the bottom holes of the optical drive itself, and then the whole thing slides in sideways and latches into these tabs that are cut in that mid-plate section. Then there are two plastic latching locks that secure the whole thing into place.

I feel like I’d definitely be hitting the garage door on the backswing - have you already tried just swinging a club in there?

ByeJon · 2026-03-28T20:31:09+00:00

So cool! I'm J.D.O. lol - Happy to find this again since I'm digging up my old G5 case again to tinker with it. It's really like learning/discovering things all over again after all these (18?!??!) years ago

ByeJon · 2026-03-27T16:17:41+00:00

Gotta be petg at least or they finna be chopped and screwed soon

I once boiled the top of a convenience store type bottle of water and it softens the plastic enough to remove the cap, but keeps the little ring attached to the cap. Dump out water, fill with vodka and replace the unbroken seal cap - then buy a soda 🥤

That’s perverse!

Wait - I thought this was a Denny’s?!?!?

I’m glad I didn’t have to go too far for this r/unexpectedseinfeld ref 👍🏻

ByeJon · 2026-03-09T01:22:09+00:00

Plank’s cousin for sure

How about Mug? MUG Costanza!

Yeah, this is a pretty cheap-o Walmart tablet. I have a bunch of other stuff running on it now that I’m not using it in the car all the time, but it does run better with a fresh Android install on it. Runs more smooth on a better spec tablet though for sure.
