Cave Man Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 If it's based on the atom, then it's not even close to the Mac Mini. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117329-ripple-mini-chocolate-mini-pc-mac-mini-clone/#findComment-831100 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synaesthesia Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Nice! I've been waiting for this. Can't wait for the Dual-core atoms though.

FrankOS_Scripting Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Can't wait til Atom become double core and not only dual. Like C2D. But still a clone.

Tense Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I have been emailing them and emailing them to see how I can get one here in America. I would shoot someone in the face for one of these.

vbetts Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 so do i, im on the hunt for a black case. too bad the company website is in korean.... -D- Only a couple of things though, You'd have to find a mATX board that'll fit inside(although it doesn't look all that tiny), and a dvd drive for it, other than that, it would make a great Mac Mini clone with the right hardware.

Scorpio123 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 The case is O..K... I mean, it looks a little cheap to be honest, and the logo is too damn big - especially on the red and silver ones.... The black one is all right though I wouldn't mind one of these to be honest, but I doubt these things are going to leave Asia, before suffering some form of lawsuit from Apple or something lol... why the hell couldn't they pick another name rather than Ripple!?

transocal Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Thread revival... Are there any Korean Hackintosh Protege can get me a couple of these chocolate to chew on? I am only looking to do light work on them, so Atom processor is fine. Wonder if it's upgradable to core 2 duo and 2GB of RAM. My only concern is the power supply.

Probably why you haven't matured enough yet, to realise that a fake Mac mini ISN'T a Mac mini... but then you know best.

Haha so true - and looks like he went colour-blind in the process. You can make as many 'smart' comments as you like, but the bottom line is that people with taste and just a modicum of common sense, buy a REAL Mac. Maybe you can fool your equally ignorant friends into thinking you're clever to have not paid for a real Mac, but at the end of the day you'll KNOW it's a knock off, and not even a vaguely good one at that!. As Guy Kawasaki says in "Welcome to Macintosh", about PeeCee designers; 'They just don't know which bit to steal!'.

transocal Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Dammit guys. I only asked a simple question. If you don't have any response specific to my question, then I'd rather you not respond. Whether it was a knocked off is irrelevant to my request for info. Moderator please close this thread.
