The picture was slow loading, so I had gone off to check the link before it appeared. I was expecting something with those old tangerine iMacs. :biggrin: I'd have been glad to saw one of those apart. :smile:

You normally use a screwdriver and a putty knife

Now they need to liquid cool it. Then i'd be really impressed:biggrin:
 
Well, if they stuck a Mac Pro in there maybe, but it's just a mini mac.
