To begin with, not everyone is hypnothized by Apple’s marketing, or more precisely hype. Anyone knows if the formac studio tvr captures in realtime? I would want one that is portable, for use with my PowerBook & iBook…, there is other model of canopus: I’ve found this for console gaming:īut it need a power adapter, and costs 300$!. The eyetv has a lag of 2 seconds that isn’t good to play games, but i think i’ll buy one to view satellite TV. (The iMac is really cheap also if you compare it to LCD TVs & plasma). I’ll buy an iMac G5 20″ as soon as i’ve been sold my shuttle SN85G4 and have found a cheap realtime firewire video capturer to play ps2/xbox games in the 20″ screen. wich is very useful for sending a receiving faxes.īut for nearly 1,000$ more it compensates more to buy 2Gb of RAM, a bigger/faster HD and other accessories like an eyetv or wireless network & keyboard/mouse. And the unique PCI slot of the shuttle is occupied by the 56k modem. So this ups the total price of the shuttle with a similar display to 2,777$, a really big price difference with the unique diferences of the graphic card and the double ram. Shuttle suggests a samsung 19″ lcd display of 700$, but a more similar display to the iMac G5 is the formac 2010:Ĭosts the same as the Cinema Display, 1,299$. Total price without a display in the web of shuttle USA: 1,478$ if you want it )įloppy (You need it if you want to install windows xp.) (I’m selling it after a month for 950 Euros.
The CPU of the iMac G5 20″ costs only 600$, really cheap. Linux hardware support remains as a big problem.Ībout the iMac G5, i think is really very well priced. The Centrino Intel Pro Wireles 2200 wifi cards don’t work or not so well, there is a project. Work, but the nice touches aren’t there, and never have been. Well, i think linux is equal in all platforms.
