I was going to post this on a PS3 forum but it would let me make a new thread after a registered and done a few posts so I gave up and thought there must be someone who can help me on MacRumors!
So, seeing as my iBook has suffered from a dead hard drive, and im using my old Windows computer now (aka: im living in hell) I want to get a replacement machine thats affordable but still good. And most of all it CANT RUN WINDOWS! Now, I realize I cant run OS X on the PS3, but I can run Linux, plus when I decide to go HD I know the PS3 will be able to handle it, plus its a games console and a media center, plus its a computer. It has a 3.2GHz CPU so it sounds decent, I realize there is a lack of RAM but im used to it (384MB and 900MHz on my iBook) so I dont really mind. I also used Linux before (Ubuntu) so im used to it and I like it. The best part? Its only £300!
But I want to ask the PS3 wielding people of these forums, is that practical? Will it work well? What is your experience with it?
Also, can I use it with a non-HD computer monitor?
Thanks in advance!
