I am building a mac/pc, the specs will be:
PC side:
duel 1.8Ghz pentium
2GB ram
160GB hdd
DVD DL writer
420w psu
Gygabyte GA-9A45GCMX-S2

Mac side:
mac mini g4 1.25 ghz
1GB ram
120GB hdd
superdrive

You'll need a "Mac Inside" sticker

 

[joe-bloggs]

Hahaha...no need for Bootcamp hey?

 

[iShater]

Do you plan some sort of internal KVM type thing to share the peripherals? It looks neat dude. This makes me miss building systems

kvm

Hmm... using a kvm switch, I,v got a spear one in the draw

I got the mini hooked up to a dvd drive (the black one)

 

[dukebound85]

you gonna try to run each os at same time?

if so why not just keep it seperate?

 

[nplima]

cool project there

hi,

that's cool actually
How are you going to use it?
Separate screens and Synergy to use the mouse and keyboard on both computers or will you swtich around from computer to computer on one screen?

Mac/pc

I'll use a kvm switch to use the same screen, keyboard and mouse the 2 systems

That's pretty cool; a Mini inside a PC case with a PC running inside. I agree with one person, though; if you have two screen hooked up, you could run both OS's at the same time. However, if there's no need for that, a KVM switch is cool too.

ya that one guy with two 30in monitors did this well they part about sharing mouse and keyboard.

ya having two screens and be able to move over to each without doing anything would be absolutely amazing.

The mac side is finished, usb and sound hooked up, just found out pc board is dead, waiting for gigabyte to send new one

 

[Lord Zedd]

Not very creative, you basically just set it in the case and ran some wires around.

 

[Insulin Junkie]

Are you going to go for something spectacular / eye catchy with the case?
I'm asking because if I ever decided to go through the effort of piecing together my own computer, I'd make sure to make a nice custom case to underline my efforts

At least the only bit that counts works!

Wow. wish I'd thought of this when I was tossing up on mini vs. imac vs. pc for infrequent gaming. You have it all!!

just install osx86 or whatever it's called and avoid the four coloured fenster!
