Hey, folks–I have a G4 with no HD that may or may not be functional (I don’t know without the HD) that I liberated from the recycling at work. It is the 800MHz version, and it looks to have 768MB of SDRAM –Here’s the link to the guts: [LINK]
Price? Cheap. Like FREE, or maybe a Diet Coke at a GG!
Hey, folks! I just grabbed an old all-in-one pc off the scrap heap, and I am going to try to convert it into something actually useful – a touchscreen bar-top jukebox. Only problem, I want to do it on the cheap! Can I get some feedback regarding any ‘skinable’ open source setup that I might be able to put on this thing?
Tech specs — It’s got a honking POWERHOUSE under the hood! Celeron 566 with 512 of PC133 on an ultra modified mATX framework (I think). It’s a crap heap, but hey, it comes with a 15.4″ LCD screen with a 2.5″ flat bezel frame and a decently sturdy and quiet case.  I may be stripping this down and airbrushing some nice enamel on it, but who knows. The value price of FREE was well within my budget!
Any sage advice from the GG Open Source crowd would be greatly appreciated! I would think it would be cool if there was some Media Center like apps out there that could run on this, that shows album art with a customizable GUI.
Any ideas?
Hey everyone!
