What happen to your Mac Pro???

dunno how to start explaining.

the default front panel uses a sata cable and various other cables/wires to power and communicate with the front usb and firewire.

the pinouts are very complicated and to adapt for ATX use, i need to wire a 5v positive wire from the atx 24 pin then ground it thru the usb ports.

the later versions use a 44pin IDE port but the mounting holes are different and the position of the usb ports are off by a few mm.

big enough to notice and block access.

so i spent a long time finding a suitable replacement for that "hole"

1. couldn't find a vertical display OLED/vacuum display
2. eventually settled on a led bargraph to display temps

but more problems. getting arduino, getting the code done because there wasn't a precedence for it so i had to learn basic coding and copy code here and there.

then the led bargraph is not the same size as the front panel holes, so i had to design some plastic adapter pieces to fit and secure it.

1 tiny hole 77x15mm hole give me so much problems.
