If/when I get one, I'm going to run it without the shiny exterior as much as possible. That thing is too shiny and I much prefer the aesthetic of PC boards and parts on a Pro machine. (Then again I run my Windows tower with the sides off too, though that's because I was too lazy to hook up the power button and front USB ports.)
- sounds 13y agoIt has a sensor that disallows running it with the case off. Disabling the sensor would void the warranty. Not saying nobody will do it, because I'm quite certain someone will (or already has?). But you'll probably have to actually spring for your _own_ MacPro to mod the sensor.
- weinzierl 13y agoThermal design might rely on a laminar air flow inside the cylinder and taking the case off could result in increased tempatures. Of course we will only know if someone tries it and reports the measured temperatures.
- lstamour 13y agoWell this is quite useful to know. I'm going to hope, then, that I can build or buy a clear plastic version of the casing. :)
