Are there any tips for remodeling a macbook?
Hello!
I have a macbook pro retina 2013.
Now the question arose of collecting a new computer and selling it. It is the collection, a normal home computer.
And the idea arose: what if you take a motherboard from a macbook, connect a normal monitor and other peripherals to it. Collect it all in a beautiful transparent case.
There was a question with cooling. Ideally, put a radiator tower in height and cool it with a cooler in the entire wall of the case.
The question is: maybe the Chinese or someone else thought this moment, and there are already ready-made radiators, so as not to drill the motherboard? Maybe there are articles on this topic or someone has experience. Maybe you know someone who has this experience.
In order to avoid further batharts about whether or not to do this at all:
Macbook is fucked up. Right now, he has a Chinese clave, the loops inside are cut, so that the Chinese spare parts of the norms get up on their native iron. The screen is burned out, the battery is completely dry, the case is bursting at the seams (I traveled a lot with it).
Therefore, even if you sell it, it is to substitute a new owner. Either throw it away or buy a new case for 30k, and considering that now the new poppy of 2015 costs 100k, mine simply will not pay back the investment.
Actually the question is higher, I'm waiting for your comments and possible solutions in terms of cooling.
PS external stand under the laptop immediately disappears. don't even ask why.

As for cooling, I can only recommend buying a heatsink with a tower-type heatsink and glue it to the processor with heat-resistant glue, removing the standard cooling. + add another fan to the case for general airflow.
A transparent case is not worth it, it won't turn out beautifully, it's better to take a dark case from some media center or HTPC.
You either need to make holes for USB + thunderbolt + power in the case for the board, or hide everything completely and use adapters.
