Things just get curiouser and curiouser. . . I'm definitely cracking it open again this afternoon.
I don't think I mentioned it before but it had a Kensington add on fan on top. I took iit off. I don't plan on using this computer for hours at a time and I like to keep things "stock" but it looks like I've got a hot-rod under the hood, as well. I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get a couple of things. When I took it apart there was only 2 of those T15 screws holding it together. Also the pram battery cover is missing. Does have anyone have those parts. . . screws and battery cover? On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 10:23 PM, Mac128 <[email protected]> wrote: > > Nope.
