If anyone is interested, [I wrote an article a few months ago](http://beta-blog.archagon.net/2016/12/31/cheap-and-painless-egpu-thrills-on-a-2013-macbook-pro/) about building a super-simple, hack-free TB2 build for use with older Macbooks. It’s not guaranteed to work with all configurations, and it’s only good for BootCamp, but now I don’t feel the need to upgrade for another year or more.
