Thanks for posting that. It's soooo much better than clicking through 20 pages. Should have been linked in the original post.

Here [Next] is [Next] my [Next] Mac [Next] Mini [Next] in [Next] a [Next] wall.

For everyone who just wants to skip to the chase and see "a Mac Mini in someone's kitchen wall", which is what I wanted to see (not pictures of an effing butter knife)...completed Mini in the wall.

Also, I think the entire W3C group has a simultaneous conniption with the author's use of "Clicky" to note an image that is also a link. That's the purpose, astoundingly, of a BLUE BORDER around an image...along with the cursor change, the tool tip, AND the display of a URL in the bottom of the browser window. I think it's probably worse than the usual "to see a picture of me and a llama, click here. To find out more about llamas, click here."

I know I had a conniption, thanks to the atrocious grammar....

IBM maintains a nice "legends" page

about their iSeries and such

It also includes the "server" lost behind the wall. The reenactments are cute and somewhat based on "true" stories.

It isnt even built into the wall its just sitting under the kitchen unit. Shame as I could easily building one into the wall (along with a small vent).

Awful website.

[blanks]

Not only do they claim that the site is not compatible with IE (which renders it fine) But they claim that the website is w3 compliant.

After the page loads I get a nice JavaScript error, and also decided to check the w3 validator and found 24 errors, not making the website compliant.

If your going to complain about " standard compliant browsers" you should at least make your site compliant to THE standards you claim to enforce.

Upon investigation, I found that the powerbook and probably the mini also are capable of MPEG2 1920x1080 ... probably because the graphics cards can accelerate the decoding. They aren't particularly fast enough to do deinterlacing though, so you'll have to rely on the monitor to do that part. ATI has H.264 acceleration in their next chipset, but it's still up in the air as to whether or not current ATI chipsets will get any H264 accleleration or whether or not quicktime will end up taking advantage of it.

I am pretty sure that the 1.42GHz mini could do the 480p H264; my 1.5GHz powerbook does fine with it.

nice idea but a few issues

using a short patch lead on show like that seems totally braindead to me when he could just take the incoming network cable straight to the mac

he used a bus powered hub for all the USB ports, frankly i'm surprised he made the dvd drive work on that at all and he himself admitted that it didn't work on the usb hub with the new led connected.

also he doesn't mention the power of the heater but i wonder if he has thought about the rating of the wall socket that he has connected everything to. some heaters basically use up the entire rating of a standard 13A socket.
