You can throw all these into one giant PC case, hide them inside and perhaps using some ghetto cooling methods if you like.Įither way I concur with those above, while some modifications are doable, they are not really worth it in cost-performance. If you are inclined, this cable can be extended outside of the cassis, connect to a 3.5" HDD or even an array with its own external PSU. There are lots of owners of this gen model swapping out optical for a 2nd HDD/SSD, with a 3rd party caddy that cost only 20 bucks or so. Machine has 2 SATA cables on board, one to the original hard drive, one to the optical drive. The I/O is probably the one part where you can get the most. On your MBP there are many issues to be encountered but they are solvable. The internal one is just on-chip so no chance to upgrade, but in theory you could use Thunderbolt to go an eGPU route, but that itself is already tricky even on newest Macs with TB3 and High Sierra which supports it. Even if it is socketed, the replacement that can fit the specs and then being compatible with this machine's EFI is not going to be much more powerful than what is already inside. The CPU if I recall correctly is soldered which means no chance to upgrade. This was a big deal simply because Apple had remained mum on the issue without actually acknowledging it, which we can be sure frustrated owners of the laptop to no end. The PSU on board is also tightly integrated with the MagSafe port. Earlier this year 2011 MacBook Pro owners launched a petition to get Apple to address the GPU issues found on their computers. If you want to improve cooling, putting the machine on top of a generic laptop cooler with fans is usually enough, throwing it inside a case won't help. Ripping the board out and putting it in a case makes no sense, the motherboard cannot be easily dissembled from the casing, and even if you do there may be short circuit or sensor errors waiting. You can do some of what you want but not all. For information on becoming a SLAPPA reseller, importer or distributor please e-mail us at sales (at) slappa (dot) com or visit us at.
