funstuie Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Shuttle are launching two new boxes this quater: http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9847365-7.html The Core2Duo processor option could be a good little mini box. Shame there are no more specs available at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viscaria Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Well, the GMA 950 should work with OS X (albeit a touch slow), 512MB of ram would be unbearable, but they say there is a 1GB option which will do the job. It's good that they are using an Intel chipset rather than via though. Could give the (massively overpriced) mac mini a run for its money. I'd consider buying it for a AppleTV setup if it has DVI.

more or less Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 I hate to say it, but hose are cute. I'd be curious to configure the barebones 1gb ram and with a Core 2 and see how much $$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megamixman Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 GMA950 is plenty for OSX. AFAIK, most people don't use Leopard to run Crysis ( Is there even a Mac Version? ), or most gpu hungry games. The ram and CPU are the real issues. Leopard deals with multi-tasking so well that people tend to leave more applications and windows open.... and you get the picture. Honestly, If these can hold a 2-3 HDs, I can see them becoming big as HTPCs or Home Servers: Small, likely quiet and low power, and they would have the space for tons of video/tv/random files. There's tons of possibilities in the sub $200 PC market, Shuttle has just been the first IMO to bring a half decent design and well upgradeabl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
