Everex gPC mini against Mac Mini?

gPC mini does not have enough RAM. They should have put atlest 1GB for $499.

MythTV frontend, here I come!
So jay doesn't think that Linux is a "real" OS? I have been using Kubuntu since 7.04 for a MythTV server (backend / frontend / desktop) and on a separate frontend in the bedroom. It does the job, and my recordings are plain mpeg, no DRM. Can your "real" OS say the same?

since it does have firewire/1394 it should be possible to use mythtv to control a cable stb (motorola 62xx or sa3250hd) and also capture video via firewire.

w/ dvi/s-video out you shouldn't have issues feeding either an newer hdtv or even an old crt.

the processor is a little sluggish for hd but should be fine for sd. i'd definantly back it up with a more powerful mythtvbackend... and i believe the chipset should support XvMC which might help in the graphics performance also.

WIFI ???

The Mac Mini also has a remote and iLive....besides a real OS. You can have s-video our on the Mac with the adapter....
have no idea what the wireless capabilities of the everex are... oir bluetooth... both present on the Mac mini.

for 799 you get the 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM 120GB Serial ATA drive and SuperDrive 8x (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)

Mac mini is beautiful (no doubt Apple is the best for design), has a faster cpu, more ram...as it's a mini pc I don't really care of the smaller hdd, maybe I could only feel the lack of the dvd burner. In conclusion, I'm not keen on Apple products, I just think the gPC is nice, but a bit overpriced (well and even if I don't think it's ugly, I agree they could have made it all black ;)). Btw, nice comparison!
