Has anyone cut off the top "Handles" to make case shorter?

I am considering placing a Mac Pro under a desk with limited vertical clearance- has anyone modified the case by cutting of the top handles to make the unit smaller vertically? Assume this would void all warranties..

Kenneth are you crazy bonkers? If you really have to why not pop down to your local Ikea store and purchase a cheap and cheerful desk that will hold the Mac Pro instead of putting the angle grinder to your computer? Or better still get some MDF from your local DIY store and make your desk a little bit taller? Surely that would be easier and safer than undertaking sheet metal work? Only joking.
On a serious note, I would also imagine that vibration and/or heat generated by cutting off the handles would risk the delicate internals of the computer.
By all means why not cut them off, especially if the desk is an antique or worth more than the computer.

  • Why does my printer cut off the top of copies?cc=​us

    My printer cuts off the top of copies.  Is there some way to adjust the printing size at the top?

    gedwardc, what is the size that you are trying to scan? Is it a legal document or a normal letter sized document? Has it worked before, and this is a recent developement?
    I want you to do hard reset in the meantime, so unplug the machine from both the back of the unit and the wall outlet for thirty second, and then plug it back in.
    Let me know!

  • Cut off the top and left sides of iFrame?

    I have a page I'd like to place as an iFrame in another page.
    Is it possible to move the framed page up and to the left so
    that the
    frame cuts off the top and left sides of the framed page?

    Jim,
    Thanks a TON!  That worked well.  It took me a bit longer to key it because the keyer didn't key out all of the color to black as well with the compound clip but I was able to make it happen.  Video is up and I appreciate the help!

  • HP psc 950 all-in-one is printing half the page...cuts off the top portion of what I am printing.

    HI!  My HP psc 950 all-in-one is printing half the page....cuts off the top portion of what I am printing.  Not sure what happened to the printer.  Came home one day and the printing wasn't the same.  Possibly the kids could have fiddled with it but no one is owning up to it.    Any solution to get the printer printing normal again?
    Thanks

  • Safari 8 Cuts off the top of every web page

    Ok, so I'm looking for a solution or I want to know if other people are having the same problem so hopefully apple will fix it.
    As my title says, Safari 8 in Mac OS X Yosemite is cutting off the top of every web page while in full screen. Not just a few, every single one, and it only does it in full screen. It only started after I updated to Mac OS X 10.10.1, it was fine with the original release of 10.10. Any takers?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • Windows 8, Lightroom 5.6. When i enable filters to search. It cuts off the top 160  images. These images are NOT included in the search!!

    In Windows 8, Lightroom 5.6. The search/filter function cuts off the top 160+ images. These are NOT included in the search.
    Even when there are as little as 6 images it does not include the first 4 images.
    I found this when I was searching a particular ISO. It did not show in the metadata search. I knew there were over 60 images at that ISO.
    I tried a text search, it did not work either. The top 160+ images were left out.
    Also it renumbered the images. My image number was #163 but Lightroom said it was #1.
    In Windows 7 Enterprise, Lightroom 5.6 worked perfectly.

    We'll need more detail to figure out what's going on. While we could play twenty questions, the most efficient way to troubleshoot this is to start out by posting a full-resolution screen shot of your LR window.

  • Printing a multipage spreadsheet is cutting off the top of each page.

    I am trying to print a multipage spreadsheet in numbers that I have been using for a couple of years with no problems. Since converting to Numbers 3.1 and upgrading the spreadsheet to this new format I cannot get the spreadsheet to print properly. The top row of every page of the 20 page spreadsheet get cut off by about 75% making all the information in that row unreadable. I have tried the fit to page function, I have tried reducing the size but nothing works. Any ideas?

    Hi Denois,
    A couple of tips to help with layout now that Print View is reduced to the non-editable Print Preview.
    Numbers > Preferences > Rulers > Tick every box
    View > Show Rulers
    You can drag Alignment Guides from the rulers too.
    The rulers show the borders of the printed page a 0,0 (but they don't print).
    Regards,
    Ian

  • Mozilla cutting off the bottom of my FormsCentral Form

    All the content on my site is in <section>tags and everything fits beatifully except this form (meaning there is no height set in the css for the sections) and only on firefox. Has anyone else run into this? It is cutting off the submit button which makes the form useless in firefox.

    Did you use FormsCentral's Embed feature to embed your form in your site's HTML page? To ensure the form is correctly embedded in your web page, you'll need to let the FormsCentral generate the embed code for you. To do that, please go to the Distribute tab, and click the Embed button in the Web Form section. A pop-up dialog will be shown to let you pick the embed form options. Once you have the options you want, click Copy, which copies the embed code into your computer's clipboard. Then you can paste the code into your own web page.
    This document (http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1991) explains some common problems we have ever seen in our custimer support cases for embedding FormsCentral Forms. Please take a look. I hope it'll help you a bit.

  • I'm using Big date theme but the numbers on the date is cut off on top.  I'm on iphoto 11 and OS 10.8.2.  anyone else having this issue??

    I'm using Big date theme but the numbers on the date is cut off on top.  I'm on iphoto 11 and OS 10.8.2.  anyone else having this issue??

    OK try the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

    Yes, the product number would be helpful.  Please don't provide the Serial #, however.
    I believe your problem may be that the monitor is not compatible with Win 8.1.  The only updates that are available are for Win XP and Vista.  You can find this information in the link that I provided under the section titled "Software Update".

    Very frustrated!!!

    It's downloading with Firefox 3.6.27 as I write.  It's probably more a Safari problem in your case for which people on the Safari forum could provide suggestions.  Or mybe just try again in a while as I suspect everybody is downloading right now.
