I am an Apple Certified Macintosh Technician (ACMT, ACSP) and Photography is my hobby.

Creativity vs Silence

Journal Entry: Sun Jan 27, 2013, 2:43 AM



For about a month now I am without computer now. Although my iMac still kinda works apart from the main fan being on full blast at all times, I can hardly be asked to power it on and work out/upload any of my Photographs. I like a computer that is silent. I don't mind the occasional fan noise at high peeks.. possibly when exporting data from Final Cut or so.. all the other times I shouldn't be able to hear anything.

Since the beginning, my iMac has been a bitter disappointment. I purchased it in summer'09 and since then it had needed a new Display and a new HDD. Now some sort of Sensor is causing trouble. According to Apple it's not a spare part, it's part of the Main Logic Board and therefore costs about £600. Bummer, right. I sourced a used Heat-sink from another iMac but so far I couldn't be asked to take it apart and try to fix it. Who knows what's next?

I do, I will fix it up and sell it. (if it works)
I already ordered a suitable Replacement. Not another iMac though. This time I go for a Mac mini. A 2012 Mac mini Core i7, 16GB, 256GB SSD with 2x 27" displays (none Apple).
Being unable to work on 1080p content in FCPx just adds up to the iMac's disappointment.

I hope to receive my new gear within the next couple of weeks... then I will be up and running again. Hopefully silent.
