It would be a little underpowered as compared to a Mac Mini, but I'm sure one of the hackers will figure out how to upgrade the processor in one of these.


Yep - it sounds as if the hard drive is easily-upgradeable to a 7200rpm laptop drive, I would guess they used off-the-shelf RAM as well.

I don't think a P-M would be *that* sluggish, should be at least on-par with the fastest of the G4s.
