Proposed to replace the elderly Mac Mini G4 1.25GHz which I tried to use a a frontend -but doesn't quite cope with that- with a new Nvidia based intel Mac Mini (Late/Early 2009 & Mid 2010), summa €550 second hand, €660 new. Was shot down as 'too expensive'.
So I'm now looking for a PC (Linux, maybe Windows) in about the same space as a Mac Mini, for (much) less than €550.
Specs:
* Hardware decoding: Nvidia VDPAU
* -or- Mini PCI Express for Crystal HD
* Ethernet (to Airport Express) -or- 802.11n
* Silent (less than ?? dBA)
* Small
* 512+ MB RAM
* Any harddrive
At the moment I have no idea where to get a CrystalHD in The Netherlands. Probably source it on eBay from elsewhere.
Edit: Found an Early 2009 Mac Mini for €425. Might be a possibility, still looking further.
