Added a Toshiba to the setup a few months back:

It is a touchscreen/convertible, so I keep it in my living room most of the time, but keep an HDMI cable available for when I want to use it with a bigger screen. I still run Windows on the iMac, though.

Here's my current mixed Apple and Windows setup.

Mainly the sheer size of it and with it having so many holes in the case (which I guess is why it's great for airflow) it just collected dust at an unreasonable rate.

Also it wasn't soundproof at all.

Not a Windows box but a Linux/Hack box.

Might want to turn the CPU cooler so the fan is not pulling air from the around the graphics card.

Yeah I haven't been sure about that. The fans on top draw air out so wouldn't that not help?

 

[bigpoppamac31]

It runs Windows 10 much better than OSX

I've thought of putting Win10 on my 2014 rMBP. I haven't really used Windows since XP so I'm very curious to try the latest iteration. Would it work well on the 13" rMBP?

Ideally you'd take the top fans and put them in the front..positive air pressure and front to back movement

I don't see how I can, I have a Carbide 88R which has room in front for a water cooler but I don't see where I can hook the fans up without it

You need to get a Technics turntable and an Xbox controller

Rads hook in with fan mounts. If you can put a rad there you can put fans

Also having another issue. I only have 2 connections on the motherboard for fans. One supports a back fan and other I had added a splitter. Fans connected to splitters sometimes dont run. Have tried multiple splitters too...sigh that's why my mac pro is my best desktop.

If they are PWM they might not need to run The fans should only come on if they are needed not spin all the time like they do in the MP. The fans in my computer are rarely on it has to under pretty intensive load to make them spin. There are many way to solve problems with PC's you just need to try a bit.

If you're board only has 2 fan headers you bought an inexpensive board and it's not really comparable to you MP.
