  • I am looking into something similar. Sharing some thoughts here.

    • Use a low power CPU and a passive cooler
    • Or, use mainboard with passively cooled on-board CPU
    • Go all-SSD, HDDs need more power, need more cooling and produce noise
    • Use a Pico-PSU and an external power supply brick
    • Or, use a fan-less PSU



  • I did a battery swap on a four year old iPhone 11 Pro that did not make it through the day sometimes, despite battery health at 88%.

    This did fix it, the phone feels like new. Did the swap at an Apple store, walk-in with appointment and wait two hours.

    The battery health percentage is not an accurate health measure. My battery was done, even with showing 88%. The Genius guy told me the number of charging cycles is relevant as well, and he recommends a swap after 750 cycles. Mine was at around 800 cycles.

    All in all: recommended.
