    I7-3770 in a Cube?

    Just looking for some thoughts on this from the group here. I am considering upgrading from 3225 to 3770 in my Cube and realize I could be getting into some heat issues. I have a Noctua NH-L9i cooler, an 80mm Noctua PWM fan at the bottom, and 40mm Noctua at the top which I am considering with...

    Clover restart issue

    Just dusted off my old cube build to set up as a server- removed the optical drive and put in a 2tb HDD. I did a fresh install of Mavericks using Clover and just the vanilla config.plist seems to get everything going just fine. I have Ethernet, wifi, graphics working fine (have not installed...

    Mac Mini Pro

    I am away from this site for a day and all of a sudden I've got all kinds of compliments, inquiries, and a few scoldings. First, thanks for the kind words. But as minihack said, it was a very quick mod so I bet in however long it takes amazon to ship these things +1 day we will see this...

    Mac Mini Pro

    Thanks neilhart, Highest compliments coming from you. Once I get the proper USB cable I am going to add a 1TB 2.5 HDD into the case for storage, and perhaps create an internal Apple BT solution. I know that i could just cut my current USB cable and wire it up to the USB header on the board...

    BerndVP Intel NUC DC3217IYE

    Hey BerndVP, you are a life saver - had been struggling with getting all of this working for a day now and you sorted me out! I would like to make one note - the attached edited capri framebuffer kext does not work in Mavericks. I ended up grabbing someone else's (I think it was from a...

    Mac Mini Pro

    Thanks minihack- you know I always value your compliments. You are absolutely right; it was a very quick conversion. All I did was remove the PCB that came with the enclosure, made a couple slits for the NUC PCB in the back with my Drexel and used some JB weld for the front two stand offs...

    Mac Mini Pro

    Thanks Yannich, I'm pretty pleased with it. I had tried tucking it into the old Cub PSU shell, but couldn't come up with a clean power button solution. The added bonus of this case is that it matches the old school Apple monitor, too. Spence

    Mac Mini Pro

    I finally found a case I like for my NUC - the iMac G4 mod will have to wait. I am pretty pleased with this thing except that the power LED is red rather than white. As you can see from the pictures, there is room to fit a 2.5 HDD in the case and once I get the right USB cable I will do so...

    Power Switch/LED wiring question

    Neil, Thanks for the quick reply. Turns out you were absolutely right. I had the black and red wires going to the wrong pins. I didn't realize this at first because pushing the power button still turned on the NUC (obviously this will always be the case because the two pins are momentarily...

    Power Switch/LED wiring question

    I have a wiring question for my electrically gifted friends out there - (Minihack, Neilhart, ersterhernd, and Mactest57 I'm looking at you guys). I have recently purchased a hard drive enclosure that I think would make a nice home for my NUC. The power button to turn the thing on only has...

    MacTester57's Finished Mods

    Hey MacTester, Nothing really to add that hasn't already been said regarding praise for your work. I noticed in your Cube picture you have a Cinema Display. Is that the mini DP verison or the Thunderbolt version? How do you have it connected to your Cube? Are you able to use the...
