>Hello Chuck Goolsbee . Howdy.
>I would like to thank you for posting a size comparison last May( I >think it was last may ) between the 2400 and the iBook. It was soon after the new iBook shipped (so I am pretty sure May is correct.) My local Apple dealer called me when his first demo unit arrived, as he knew I was interested in small powerbooks (I bought both of my 2400c's from him.) >it helped me get a grasp on the size difference between the two. That was the point of the exercise. =) >also love the the pictures of the server rooms at digital forest. I >apologize if I have misspelt that. That is correct enough... the official name is 'digital.forest'. For those that don't know what Carlos is talking about, all the pictures are here: <http://chuck.forest.net/images/> > I do have one question, do you have a detailed explanation of the >process that you used to establish a better cooling setup for the >2400. I apologize in advance if this is a redundant question as I'm >sure it is . If there is a faq page or instructions on the net let >me know. > >Thanx for the info, in advance. > >Carlos > I did not establish the process, just followed those set out by a Japanese pioneer by the name of 'doggyfox'... I volunteered to perform the modification on behalf of the list member 'rlf9', who was having big problems with overheating. I am very comfortable with the (dis)assembly of the 2400c, having done many upgrades and modifications. I did make a few changes to the original Japanese mod, (mostly a larger sink) but pretty much followed in doggyfox's footsteps. About halfway through the process 'rlf9' sent me a different mod to try, but it was one that had some significant risk and had no way to 'back out of' should something go wrong (it involved cutting the case, and replacing some of the plastics with metal pieces... I wasn't feeling up to that one though. Both rlf9 and I have lost the URL for that one unfortunately.) The URL to doggyfox's heat page is: <http://www.ab.aeonnet.ne.jp/~tkishino/Heat.html> Follow 'link 3' for the final mod. The pics I took of the similar mod on rlf9's 2400c: <http://chuck.forest.net/images/2400heatmod/> Hope that answers your questions. --chuck PS: I am going to be in europe on business for the next two weeks, so if I drop off the list for a while I'm not ignoring you! ======================================================================= "It is so easy to miss pretty trivial solutions to problems deemed complicated.
