[Cube] FireWire 400/800 Cable ... and Millions of Colours question

[Stefan]

Hello Luis,


let me ask you from a special point of view:

Why must it be an iMac?


OK, I understand that it is an attractive design object
and it has a quite good performance and there is 
a large gap between the Mac Pro and the Mac mini.
The iMac is nearly between.

But I would never buy an All-in-one machine:
As the screen or another important part fails 
(mostly after the warrantyŠ), it is very 
expensive to let it repair or you have lost your 
computer and monitor at once.

Why not take the new Mac mini?
It's graphics seem to be markably better and it is fast enough.
Especially if you combine it with an external FW-800 harddisk as bootdisk.

I tried with my Mini to change the internal with 
an external 3.5" harddisk (S-ATA) by leading the 
cable to the outside. It is not absolutely simple 
but possible, not more complicated than bringing 
the cube's DC-board to another location as I did 
too.

And then you'll get quite fast machine.
To buy a 24" TFT separate must not be a problem.
You'll have the full colorspaceŠ


OK, the design question.
But most of the time you'll don't see the Mini behind the large screen.


Please take it as just an idea.

Stefan
