Converting eMac to tower, overclocking, etc?
« on: June 26, 2010, 06:33:10 PM »
Not that I don't have enough projects I am working on or swimming in cash atm... But I am starting to think about what to do with this eMac, possibly at least, in the future.

As mentioned in another thread, people have done headless eMacs.

And some Mac people have overclocked 1.25Ghz eMac to 1.58Ghz.

So take a $40 eMac, gut it, put it in a tiny case (Minit ITX ?), upgrade the RAM to 2GB, overclock to 1.58Ghz and use an LCD monitor. There would be some labor involved, but the cost of materials would still be pretty low, right?

Thoughts?
Someone has to state the obvious and that someone is me!
