that is one tiny case, ant it can take a core 2 :eek: , just thought some people here might be interested.

and yes... I know there is no pci slot for a tuner... but there are always USB tuners

[pBS]

now that is one nice itty-bitty....
not just a case but a nicely featured full machine..[minus cpu/hd,etc.]
it does take mini-pci tv cards...tho not many out there...

has built in dvd burner too...looks like a mac mini clone...

[has actually been out there for several years, but now has more beef inside]
i must say it does look tight...perfect for pvr apps..[well except for the lack of slots]
nice find...

[Ted the Penguin]

good call on the mini-pci slot, I didnt even really look. however, you cnat exactly find those, there are some new ones, but I cant seem to find them for sale...

EDIT:
DOH aopen has one for sale with it

well they mention it, its pretty much unavailable.

That looks great!... that little computer isn't bad either!

Anyone any idea how much that little beauty costs?

If you try to access the link from the UK, THG tries to automatically redirect you to the UK&Ireland site and gets confused. The UK link is

Any experience out there with using Mac mini machines with the INTEL Core Duo. These run nicely and fast with XP if needed. But I am not sure if the graphic card (onboard) is up for the task.

I just saw one for $470 on their re-furbished web site with one year garantee. Beats a aOpen barebone if you asks me.

[Ted the Penguin]

yeah, does the mac mini have a miniPCI slot that you can put a TV tuner in?

not that it really matters

lol green, yeah I read THG every day, their Christmas stuff makes me chuckle. glad you enjoyed the link

My supplier carries these, one version is $299 and the other is about $345.
The one in the article is the $345 model. I've thought about at getting one to try as a gbpvr client.

the 299 model has 10/100 ethernet instead of gigabit and I think a DVD-ROM instead of R/W.

[Ted the Penguin]

do they carry the minipci tuner cards as well?
