Extraordinary work and artistry, I have a lot of respect and admiration for the time and energy you have put into this project. Well done!

I was able to partially solve one of my problems. I took a resister from a three pin fan speed reducer adapter cable and wired that resister into the four pin of the out flow fan, which, along with making very little difference to CPU HD/SSD temps, lowered the noise level to a more Apple like...

My set up is working fairly well but with a handful of problems that I want to resolve. On the website Younow, the saved moments, as soon as I scroll down the page, which would usually make a saved video moment on the page auto play, the computer instead locks up and I have to do a hard reset...

That is one gorgeous little motherboard. Not many dealers have it, over here (UK) and the price is quite high but Thunderbolt, right? I'm attracted to the idea of a powerful small, semi portable build that I can add a graphics card to via Thunderbolt, when needed. I keep hoping there will be a...

Thanks, good to know. I know there is a Corsair model where the fan doesn't spin when not under load but it hits my budget. Can I ask, the Node 202, I think, correct me if I'm wrong, comes with a riser card/cable? I have found very hard to find a working riser cable and it has put me off moving...

I love following your posts, thanks so much for sharing them, great admirer of your work. I read that you are using a Fractal Design Integra SFX 450W PSU from the Node 202 case. I have considered buying that PSU for a build that I am working on and am curious to know how loud it is...

Tiny fans in a tube, I can't see it working, it would just be noisy, so I am working on a less pretty proof of concept. You can see a mock up of it, here, that I made in Gimp. The angle that you see the fan at is just to show you the fan, in the finished version the fan and its mount would lie...

Making a shroud that looks good, keeping to the clean lines minimalism and high quality materials Apple ethos. Hmm, let's think this through. I notice that a lot of Mac Accessories/covers are made from bamboo. How about a bamboo pipe, with concealed fans at either end? The pipe would have a...

I get the impression that the presence of the optical drive, whether it is wired in or not, is necessary to properly duct the air. At the moment, I am thinking of adding an even and carefully drilled line of holes below the vent slot. On Youtube there is a video of someone who used a CNC machine...

Thank you for the heads up. Hopefully Apple will update some of their other hardware. It gets a bit frustrating when people rib you about when are Apple going to update some of their overpriced antiques. You can talk aesthetics, design, operating system and apps but many of the detractors switch...

I am running Yosemite, mainly because of the sleep problem with AMD graphics cards but also because I prefer Yosemite, Disk Utility, for instance!

My sympathies! It will be good to hear how you get on! :)

Thanks! I'm guessing the PSU, I would have thought at least one of the diagnostic LEDs would be lighting up if the problem was the the integrated video chip needs a soldier re-flow. It's frustrating not being able to see anything obvious!

UEFI motherboard can't see gpt/EFI/boot - is there a workaround? Thanks, I like your guide, but in the end I found a workaround for UEFI boot through my windows partition using Windows bcdedit command Run cmd.exe as admin and then type:- bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.efi...

I am having difficulty getting my Lenovo TS140 UEFI motherboard's bios to see my gpt/EFI clover boot file. Unfortunately, the bios on this server motherboard is very cut down, there isn't even an option in the bios to manually set a path to the boot file. I read that if you put Clover on a USB...
