Nemo's Universal Media Box
This is the ultimate goal of which NIPL, NUDI, CDIA and Genres on this wiki are merely a part of.
The aim is to have a settop box that acts as a
- PVR
- Music jukebox
It should also be in a cute/cool case.
- A MS Xbox would be a nice form, if I wanted VCR-sized, non-rackmountable box. Also unlikely to support PVR capabilities given the hardware.
- A modified Apple Colour Classic would be nice. But needs to be modded ALOT. (shoehorn a Cube and a flatscreen moniter inside - provides for some portability). Would he nescessary video input/output cards be possible however? Such a box might still be nice to setup though :)
- An Apple Xserve would be very nice, for a rack-mount. CD drive would need changing to a DVD drive, as well as suitable graphics cards and soundcard. Would PCI and AGP slots be an issue? How about noise? Overall, this looks like an ultrasweet solution. See references at http://www.apple.com/xserve/specs.html
- <Gaz> I found this in a Lindows.com semi-spam. Don't know how it stacks up against anything else you've got, but it's pre-built.
