hey! family htpc. want following: bbci player itv player 4od live tv watching (have card work) 480p youtube videos. powermac g5 @ 1.8 dual 2.5 gbs of ram job?
thanks!
kinda large, noisy, , power consuming htpc... if machine have sitting around guess it's worth putting use, wouldn't buy 1 purpose. should fine 480p flash...it choke on higher res flash video...my g5 quad barely pulls off 1080p youtube.
had mac plus case lying around , mac mini, thought natural them become 1
i've taken photos of process , shot couple of videos afterwards (videos need reshoot because shot them vertically...sorry that, tired , didn't think it).
did pretty simple: took guts of mac mini , stuffed them inside plus case, new 9" display bought.
i've left entire i/o of mac mini intact, had take out optical drive because of space issues , fact need put drive on front, have cables don't have.
, i've taken power button front!
it's running os x tiger 10.4.11 on 1.25ghz powerpc g4.
there details need work on, , few improvements want make (for example, adding original mouse & keyboard). now, works great , looks better!
here pics (i won't post them directly because they're quite large):
when i'm in idvd , go burn disc goes through steps , @ last step asks if continue , burn freezes , won't allow push okay/yes button , ejects disc. happens several slideshows , several dvd's. using dvd-r's. know causing? we're doing on macbook that's approximately 3 years old , it's running leopard.
can check console.app relevant messages when occurs?
quick question. use mac business , have exchange account setup signature work emails. problem is, when reply someone's email, signature still there. know there option pull down signature, kind of annoying , know on other mail clients there kind of option "not use signature when replying."
having issue reply messages not adding space when replied (the reply start right below header of last message, thought little unprofessional (maybe thats ocd, haha), found workaround these forums - created second signature , took text out , left few blank lines - works charm! problem is, don't want have pull down "blank" signature" everytime reply message.
