That's cool. Hopefully they are USB 2.0 capable. :)Quote:

I think they are, but they aren't powered plugs.Quote:

At least it is possible to buy a powered USB 2.0 hub to plug in there if ya need to though.Quote:

So you want something this size with a 100W Prescott in there and PCI slots? This isn't a gaming machine so why bother upgrading it? You think people that buy those Dell's with integrated graphics are loving that well balanced P4 2.8GHz, 256 MB of RAM and integrated graphics - or will upgrade it?Quote:

I get to have whatever I want. Even things that I don't want now, if I think I'll want them in the future...I HAVE THEM. I RULE.Quote:

Don't tell me what kind of cake I can have, or if and when I can eat it. I do what I want, *****.
I'd rather have something like this with an A64 and an AGP slot.

Granted, it's larger, but more functional as well.
Fair enough :confused:
Dude has everyone seen the video showing how to take these apart? You use some sort of paint scraper or something and it just pops right off.
Apple warranty says that if you don't fork up anything inside, you are still under warranty. Tiiiiight.
I wonder if Apples still need specific memory. They used to be kind of flaky about brands. Crucial always worked though.
I lost the link to the video. I saved it though, 700k. PM me with your email addy if you want it.
I still want one.

This is great. You pick up a mac mini with the lowest specs for $500, a 17" CRT for $70 and a keyboard and mouse for $30. That gets you a $600 mac, they've never been that cheap. And believe me, 256mb is enough for apple. My iBook has 1.2 ghz and 256mb, which is comparable to the mac mini, and it's enough for everything except games.
The only thing I worry about is the HDD. When I got my iBook with a 30gb HDD, 12gb were already used. I cleared off 1gb by getting rid of the 2 crappy games that came with the pc, but my idea of getting ut2004 for mac (5.5gb just for the game, and another 5gb before you know it) vanished immediately.
But at $799, the eMac seems to come fairly close, considering you the mouse, keyboard, monitor and speaks all built right in.
for many people, there is a HUGE difference between 600 and 800 bucks.Quote:

For $500 + tax, it sounds fair. Might consider getting one, have never used Mac OS X. I can use my keyboard/mouse that are usb and just plug in my monitor..don't need more accesories :)
