    The ATI Radeon HD 5870 in my 2012 MacPro (5,1 running High Sierra 10.13.6) died earlier today. A moment of silence, please. It was driving my primary monitor which went black (while the menu monitor, driven by an ancient ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB, stayed on). After 20 seconds or so the...

    MP 1,1-5,1 Is it time to give our cMP's PSU a recap?

    I've read several reports of people having their PSUs dying, so I was wondering, since those Mac Pros are at least 10 years old, if it's finally time to get our hands dirty by opening the PSU, warming our soldering irons and give the thing some love with new shiny capacitors. Recapping is a...

    New ASUS PC copies the Trashcan design

    This looks very familiar. Did ASUS learn nothing from Apple's mistake? https://www.4kshooters.net/2019/01/09/asus-announces-new-mini-pc-proart-series-for-content-creators/ Looks similar on the inside too.
