Mac mini to PC Hack

DiZASTiX writes "Kevin Rose, the ever so popular host of G4/TechTV's The Screen Savers, has managed to fit a PC inside the Mac mini. 'I've seen a ton of articles around the web lately comparing the Mac mini to the near full size desktop PC. What they fail to compare is the amount of computing power per square inch you get with the Mini. So, I decided to take it upon myself to create the fastest PC possible with the size constraints of the Mini's small form factor.' The article covers most everything he did and includes pictures."

There are several good reasons you would want to do it - but with GM equipment, not ford. First of all, short block chevy V8 engines are the most ubiquitous swap motors around. They have been installed in basically every kind of vehicle that has been around and you can get kits for installing them into italian cars, german cars, french cars, other GM vehicles that never came with a V8, boats, airplanes, generators, you name it. A 327 is a nice fit for many porsches, and if you shell out the big bucks to get an aluminum block it's probably LIGHTER than the stock flat four or six, which might make the car less tailhappy.

But, you probably knew that :P What you might not have known is that in every way but efficiency, the GM V8 is a superior engine. It has more power, more torque, there are more parts for it, the ignition system is better, et cetera. We're not talking about swapping into modern porsches here though :P

The 1971 240Z is a mean little machine, but it's a lot meaner with a 350ci chevy motor out of a camaro under the hood with TPI fuel injection and HEI ignition.

Clearly you require assistance. THIS post is offtopic. The parent post details why the previous commenter should stay the fuck away from automotive metaphors they don't understand, and shows the invalidity of the comment. Please pay attention, while metamoderators are more important than you are, you are still important and the voting process is important.
