Hey folks!
I got myself a 27" iMac a few months ago, I'm very pleased with it, but I must say there are 2 little things bothering me...
1) it has no Blu-ray drive
2) no HDMI input/output
Currently I've installed Windows 7 Ultimate Edition via BootCamp and I'm using a Mini DisplayPort + USB to Dual-Link DVI Adapter to connect it to my 30" Dell monitor (which unfortunately doesn't have an HDMI input either).
This works in both OS'es.
The only thing I want more is to be able to play my Blu-ray movies on my iMac.
I've got a PS3 and I ordered a Kanex XD to connect it to my iMac. But that method prooved troublesome and so far it hasn't worked out for me.
So I've a few questions:
1) is it possible to play my Blu-rays on some other way on my iMac? I suppose that brings me to external Blu-ray players... is this an expensive way?
2) does anyone have experience with Kanex XD? or something similar? what is the proper way to make this work? and is it important in which OS you try this?
3) is it possible to replace the internal drive? it sounds a bit radical I know, but just wanna think out of the box
