I finally received my Power Mac in the mail today and I am a very happy camper. It works like a charm and has OS X Panther as the OS. I am also planning to create some repair guides soon for this Mac as there are currently none besides a teardown.

I see that the plastic shell is modular and can be removed. My question is where can I find replacement outer casing parts for this model.

@mayer The guides I made for this Mac are public. Take a look if you wish, I appreciate feedback. One thing I will definitely agree with is if you say that I need to take better pictures.
I anticipate making more guides on how to replace the power supply, fan, logic board, outer casing and SSD/HDD.
