So i found a really cheap g4 cube.I was wandering if i could use it as a apple tv.Id upgrade it and put leopard on it so i could use front row.Is there any way to make the cube output video to componet or composite?like the red,yellow,and white? or the red,blue,and green for video and red and white for audio?thanks guys
 
For what you would spend upgrading it, the G4 won't even be half as powerful and you could by an actual :apple:TV instead.

Not mine :p

Cube with 1Ghz CPU, 1,5G ram :D
 
Snow Leopard can run on a PowerPC chip?! Isn't it limited to Intel PCUs, or am I misunderstanding something?
 
As a former PMG4 owner, I would say unless it was upgraded heavily, it won't make for a very good media centre as most video codecs will bring it to its knees.

And so sad too, the G4 cube remains in my opinion one of the most amazing computers of all time. I love mine, though I just keep it around as a honey pot on the network now a days. :eek:
