Good question. I don’t know. I’m not even sure there are variations in the
case so that I would have to have a specific one. I don’t think there are.
Quite honestly, I don’t care about the cosmetics, as it’s buried out of sight
next to my desk. As long as it works and I can access the inside

The hum appears to be the four 15k RPM drives. I’m not used to having high

Just fired it up. Other that a strange low frequency resonance of some kind

If you have a package that you really, really don't want lost or possibly
damaged, it needs to be insured as "High Value".

All freight companies are like that. They dare you to try to
collect. They make sure it costs you more than it costs them, so you
don't try it the next time.

released. There is a boot loader that can be run which requires changing a
couple of boot.fi files and all is well from that point on.
If you need specifics, let me know. I’ve been using the MB 1,1 since Mavericks
