New Compact Mac Hardware Upgrades! 

The Mac SE fan has a distinct sound that I do actually like. It's super-nostalgic to me. I film this computer all the time tho and it's too loud for the videos so I had to do it. If you enjoyed this vid make sure to turn on those notifications so you'll know when I put new ones out! ✌️

I love your channel, Gruz. Before you came along, the Macintosh wasn’t properly represented on RU-vid. You inspired me to start my own channel. 👍🏻

As a BlueSCSI seller, I can safely say you've made a great choice, sir!

You can easily remove hot glue by soaking it with rubbing alcohol. The hot glue will just pop off. (I don't know if this works on the 40+ years old Apple glue. Works wonders on modern hot glue.)

Glad the DB25 ended up coming in handy already!

Thanks for checking out BlueSCSI! The MacWars bootup scarred me too :D - If you ever need any help or have questions drop by our discord!

I think this is one the most in-depth videos I've seen about doing maintenance work on classic Macs outside of Mac84's channel. Loved it!

Thanks, im getting motivated to fix or at least mess around with my crt.

I love that screw driver mod! Looks like I’ll have to make one myself.

Great fun video. You can't beat a good bodge job. This is the way I would have done it.

I've seen a few videos about replacing the fan in the SE or SE/30... but I never see anyone talk about if the new fans match the old fans ACFM.

Old hard drives used to be very loud. Imagine a whole lab full of these old machines with hard drives whining away.

I couldn't agree more! I just can't stand loud fan noise. I was so stoked when I got my hands on my M1 Mac and could finally use something that was both powerful and near totally silent. At this point I am spoiled and can no longer tolerate traditional computers.

thanks

When working on SEs, you should remove the neck board. I broke a CRT by bumping it.

I kinda wonder how much noise was really just the hard drive. In a way, it would seem weird to me to have a totally silent Mac!

Big fan of the slap n' shake method

I don't quite understand how anything on the computer can be "grounded" when it is sitting on a table with the power cord unplugged, but then, I'm only just smart enough to know that I don't understand electricity.

Now they’re building these crappy attic fans into all new houses. The drone on all day and drive you nuts. And there’s no way to turn them off.

thank you gruz i am a all time fan i love your videos i never ever missed out anny of your videos after i subscribed but sorry this time you will forgive me won't you

For the fan, you had three wires, I think it was a yellow wire, what you do with that, just hide it?

What did you do with the yellow wire from the noctua? I left it unattached and just soldered the red and black wires up to those on the board of my SE like you appear to have done, but I'm paranoid this is not the high cooling scenario

After two years, is that fan still quiet?

BlueSCSI - all out of stock! EDIT: seems to be out of stock at your link, searching for BlueSCSI seems to indicate other sellers selling the same thing?

is that a joystick plugin?, i've been trying to find a joystick for my Classic Mac.

Nice tutorial.

2:49 I’m really curious about what happened with System Picker. I noticed that the Read Me file is hi-lighted a little strangely when you copied it, it if that was a problem you’d expect it to still complain when you copied it individually, right? Weird.

Hello, what's the advantage of BlueSCSI over the Floppy EMU you show in the same video? Don't they provide the same functionality? Thanks
