Michael Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 How i pray to you... whoever you might be... the kind one in my heart and soul who beats upon my favourite subject matter to bring out hastened goodness that would never otherwise be. Now that ?TV has been released... i so impatiently wait for you, the good hacker to take your part. Yes i want this device for what it is... but also for what it could be. Can you image the possibilities... a simple $299 Mac based NAS head... connected to a sweet little 2TB silent drive array... a device that dishes out iPhoto, iTunes, and Bonjour magic. Apache web server, PHP, MySQL, SVN, BT.... all other such goodness in a device meant to serve in solitude and silence. I know that I ask much, but I hope you will answer my prayer... and that others may share in your goodness. amen to you my brother! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda75 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Here are some pics of it taken apart: http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b343/briantr/Apple%20TV/ I can't make out the other specs but apparently there is some sort of Intel CPU and an integrated Nvidia GPU Oh wow. I just found a thread on another forum that has a lot of handy info about hacking the Apple TV. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthrea...hreadid=2391956 The thing is all this runs on a 1ghz Dothan (pentium M?) so I don't know how attractive this box will be. I guess for a webserver it would be nice but then again you could probably find a PPC mac mini for about the same price and it would save you a lot of time hacking. Hope this helps put you into the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
