Anyone should be able to figure out what I am doing here. I started shopping around for used Apple computers and the model I am interested in is the G4 Cube I have always liked the design of it even though it is kind of hobbled by how specialized it was. This is a silent computer taking cool air from the bottom and piping it pout the top. I think the external power supply is kind of lame but you can hide it I guess. I would like to get my hands on a couple of these and see what I can do with them, perhaps modernize one for a silent media center computer for my room.
Nobody can argue that Apple has put a lot of resources into the ascetics of their products (and rightly so). In fact I believe the ascetics of Apple products is the only reason they are around today. Nowadays people have Apple products that they carry with them and display like the IPod and IPhone these products are a reflection back on themselves and therefore they want something that is sexy and pleasing to the eye. Microsoft on the other hand is a software company and leaves this up to the OEMs to figure out and is a much more a function before form company (although some would argue that).. (are there any RFID or bar code scanners for Iphone?) Anyway I digress. But the Apple Cube is perfect for what I am looking for in this project.
