Have you thought about modding the case? Making it a bit more Mac like?
(I don't mean just sticking an apple sticker on it...)

people have made Hac Pros from Mac Pro cases and Power Mac cases but the Mac Pro case can only fit a micro ATX board and the Power Mac case can only hold 2 hard drives and only has one 5.25" slot.
i havent fully chosen all of my Hac Pro parts but i know im going to use the Antec Solo case which is a little 'mac-like' in design and could probably almost match the Mac Pro's acoustics.

Yes, extensively. When I first though of doing this, I really wanted to do a true vanilla install using a Mac Pro / G5 case so it looked totally legit, but I decided it was too much hassle for something I'm going to tuck behind a desk and never see again. The Sonata is so quiet that its no big deal.
Well fun story, I read that the 10.5.5 update was safe so I did it... from Software Update. Bad idea. Killed my whole installation. To make matters worse, I had deleted the ISO and my DVD was scratched up. Had to re-download kalyway (all night) and do a fresh install.
Oh well
I did the updates the right way this time and I'm doing full vanilla which is good.

Lose any data?
Yeah, I lost everything since I built the computer but it wasn't anything particularly important. All the stuff I care about is stored on external hard drives in the first place (pictures, movies, etc).
