yeah, read all about it..
then just thought, why not by a mac mini..?? then you get all that, without wrecking the warranty and you get a DVD drive/burner n all.. waste of time and money imho
Would you like some CANDY!?!?!
Then put Windows on it. They make excellent windows boxes these days. The laptops are actually good value for money too if you consider them to be in the same league as Toshiba laptops (Which I do).Originally Posted by Jim2

ONE THING MAC USERS CAN'T DO THAT PC USERS CAN
Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

I've got one...and it costs $1500 not $500.
Never suggested you would use it as a full-blown computer. Just a cheap media player.

I'm using a Mac mini (headless - VNC to access it if I need to) as my 'in-home' webserver (php/mysql/apache) and wi-fi access point. The AppleTV would do that job fine with less cost and power consumption.

You have proved yourself wrong numbskull.
One hell of a ride.
It's his new act: 'Renegade Arsehole'
needs to work harder
Soon as someone can find a way of hacking more RAM in - I reckon the gloves are firmly off. OSX will run just fine on a 1GHz chip, but it soaks up RAM like there's no tomorrow.
Of course until then there's a really really good way of making an AppleTV a media player.... Don't fuck with it.
Could be about to become a mondo cheap Linux server though. Especially since I think mine is about to go to the great server room in the sky.

Signature needed. Apply within.
I'm the flash ! (of sloths)
Feh... Apple schmapple...
For TV get yourself a series 1 Tivo and hack it... Mine's been going non-stop for a couple of years now... Very happy. Cost of Tivo delivered + 320Gb HD = $500 NZ.
For other content stream out to an old XBOX running XBMC. Cost $100. Team it up with Myth TV on a PC somewhere and it could be a cheap Apple beater.
But I like the standalone hardware thing so I don't need a million PCs everywhere so Tivo is cool.
Jeebus, I'm such a geek.
Sedge.

Hmmm...part of the appeal is that it should run my 22' Widescreen LCD monitor. Had considered the X-Box as a solution (mod'ed of course) but it wouldn't run my monitor).

Its not a new act for him is it? I've never really put any stock in what he says.
