I've been running a G5 like this for a couple of years with no
problems. I bought an empty case last year and it arrived the same
way! I bought a second empty case which made it to me in good shape,
finally had everything I need to assemble a nice looking G5, but I
procrastinated.... after all, my Mac was running well and it is a
really big job to transplant the motherboard, CPUs, etc. Then I
stumbled upon the perfect (for me) solution... I bought a 28" monitor!
I can't even see the G5 behind the monitor anymore! Out of sight, out
of my mind.. I guess I'll never get around to swapping out the mobo
into the better case now.
BTW I did try to repair the case by putting large woodworking clamps
on it, pulling the sides in straight, and letting it sit for a few
days. As soon as I released the clamps the case sprang right back out
of line. I'm pretty sure there's no way to repair the case without
removing all the components.
