[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1564406, member: 56379"] The way Apple designs their computers, the way Apple changes things very quickly, and the way Apple keeps certain software/firmware unavailable...deters the "modding" of Apple products. Which is very common in the "Windows World" where parts swapping/interchangeability is very common. Most Apple "modding" (if you want to call it that)...is usually limited to swapping exact same "good parts" for "bad-parts" in a non-working computer. Even parts sometimes within a "product family" (Powermac G4's, Powermac G5's, Mac Pro's, etc.) are not easily swappable (as you are finding). - Nick [/QUOTE]
