I doubt it, Macs are very different from PCs in several ways.

A lot of work for a poor case.

A valid point. if you're a Mac fan and/or want to do it for a fun project then go ahead, but it's a lot of work for a not very good PC case otherwise. A basic case like the NZXT Alpha will be miles better.

Yeah. If you want a good case just get this:

If you don't like all the lights(I dont) get yourself a Coolermaster RC690.

As a 'no showoff' case, this is excellent, and very quiet:

My 3007's definitely SIPS, it has the purple tint if you view it from an angle. Has to be a pretty dumb angle though, a good 140+ degrees...

But it's not the best for cooling. The RC690 is better cooling and the Antec is more quiet.

The Antec actually lets you do both. Let rip those fans on full speed and it's not bad, but far from quiet. The RC-690 is still cooled a little better, but the P182 is far from bad, and also comes with the fans. You have to buy almost all of them for the coolermaster.
