Mac mini in a Volkswagen
pyramis writes "Matt Turner has installed a Mac mini into his Volkswagen as an integrated audio/video system. He's distributed the I/O ports around the cab for convenient access and installed a remote power button right into the dashboard. Cool pics of all of this, plus a detailed article on that cool power button."
first post you motherfuckers
who gives a shit, i can put a pc in my chrysler with all the io buttons and the "cool" power button....... BIG FUCKING DEAL
even though what you say is pretty much true (though I doubt ALL volkswagon owners are brainless fashion followers) you'll be modded down simply because you said something about apple that isn't highlighting them in a positive manner.
what a crock indeed.
there's even companies that sell hardware MP3 players that integrate into the cars existing stereo, so you can for example, use the cars existing radio and (and steering wheel on cars that have them) volume/track controls.
http://www.densionusa.com/x/index.php is such a company. Though they also make things to link iPods to your car...Still, their kits start at $399 for their DMP3 hard drive player and for car specific integration stuff, it's about $500. So the same as an mac mini for a complete mp3 hard drive control system that integrates with your car radios existing controls. Pricey but to be honest I'd rather spend the money on that than giving my money to apple...
If you don't want someone to copy something, don't give it to anyone.

Right, most VW owners are just brainless.
"hipsters"? I think you mean flamming faggots.
I spent 150$ on parts for my 1.0ghz flex PC. It is not quite as small, and it is not quite as fast. Nor is it as -ahem- hip. But it was a fraction ov the cost.
It is a fanless mobo design and boots a flash drive - cant get much quieter then silent.
Yes, it runs linux.
But this is perfect if you're a wimpy geek with a image problem. Now, no one will question your sexuality at all. No sir. Not a bit.
The only question is, do you want a lily or a pansy in your flower vase?
