Hi all
I've been looking and searching and reading alot over the last 2 weeks regarding the Cube build. I seem to have found a Cube in good condition that does not work, but cosmectically should be in good nick. I've been promised that I can pick it up in 2 days' time. Naturallly i'm excited as I've seen some pretty awesome solutions on this forum. It is truly mindboggling how you builders all can dremel, cut, hack and tinker your ways to Cube Heaven.
Before I pick it up, could somebody please let me know if I need special tools to dismantle the Cube? Does it use Torx screws or just a normal philips head screwdriver ? I'll try and emulate the rest of you with pictures and progress reports, but if I'm able to just come within 75% of many of the builds I've see here, I'll be happy. The bar is indeed very high, which is good.
I plan to do the DQ77KB and the i3 processor for a low power solution. I already have another Hack-a-Mac running on a Gigabyte board so I'm quiiiiietly confident I can get it up and running.... It's the dremelling part that has me worried and how much hacking and drilling I need to do.
In any case, I won't know until I have the Cube, the mobo, processor and heat sink how I can make it all fit.
