    DYI 180Hz Apple LED Cinema Display

    All iPads iPad as a Car Gauge Cluster

    Hi, I saw this video () and really liked the idea of modernising a car with something like this, but I am quite picky about screen quality and this one only has about 100ppi (I don't really like the 160ppi of my 27" Ultrafine Display), iPads have 260ppi and are at least 60Hz. Added with the fact...

    MP 1,1-5,1 MacVidCards alternative, or how to DIY EFI for RX580 Reference?

    Hey, I've dealt with Dave from MacVidCards a bunch of times, first with an HD6870, then a GTX760, then a GTX970... Every one of those times was fantastic, albeit, he was getting harder and harder to get a hold of, over time. Now, I sent an email 8 months ago, which he still seemed great...

I wanted to use it without opening the screen, however, because it is equipped with an HDD it is super slow and drives me crazy.
