$499 Mac Mini as an HTPC or MS MCE killer? Articles / Small Form Factor PC's Posted by rampy on Jan 15, 2005 - 06:27 PM "Apple introduced their new low cost $499 Macintosh server [1] (at Mac World). If you visit PVRBlog [2], you'll see it's generated some buzz for being an interesting way to build an HTPC [3] (Home Theater PC). It's got a 1.25Ghz (or 1.5Ghz) G4, easily powerful enough to crunch video streams, as well as a 9200 Radeon graphics card with DVI,VGA, SVideo, and Composite out. It's only weakness is the small hard drive (80Gigs) that comes standard. The small form factor definitely gives it a little extra in the cool factor category." copsted from TVHarmony's [4] mac mini htpc entry [5] This article is from Build Your Own PVR   http://www.byopvr.com/ The URL for this story is:   http://www.byopvr.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=264 Links in this article   [1] http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2005/jan/11macmini.html   [2] http://www.pvrblog.com   [3] http://www.pvrblog.com/pvr/2005/01/mac_mini_a_kill.html   [4] http://www.tvharmony.com/blog/   [5] http://www.tvharmony.com/blog/archives/2005/01/mac_mini_debuts_1.html
