What do you get if you build a PC to match a Mac Pro’s specs?

Laptops aside, things could be different for desktop machines. We set to find out by customizing an exact system in as many aspects as possible to a baseline Apple Mac Pro, which costs a hefty $2799. We tried to cut costs in our PC wherever we could without sacrificing quality, and also tried to pick components that would closely match Apple’s offering. Tom’s Hardware

Awesome find from TUAW!

While browsing Flickr this afternoon, we came across a shot of a Nintendo DS running Macintosh System 6 in emulation on reader Ken Fager’s Flickr stream. Of course, we contacted him to ask how he did it. Here’s what he had to say. TUAW

Engadget posts that SSD’s:

use less power than traditional drives.

It’s a bit of welcome info, especially if you’re considering the now lower-priced SSD option for the MacBook Air.

Found this at TUAW and I thought it was funny that a simple tool is not that easy to find.View Original Article

Mac Mod Lab. Gallery gives new life to the almost dead Mac mini. Check out the “Mac Pro Mini” (among many other mini mods), the cool cellphone lanyards, and the earlier Cube mod.

If you’re considering getting a Time Capsule, Engadget features an unboxing!

Behind everything is a Dtech (Gadmei) TV tuner. This gadget lets me watch cable with the LCD monitor. It also handles the standard DVD player (above). So basically, the Eee PC is not directly attached to the monitor but passes through the Dtech device. (I have yet to figure out how to do picture-in-picture). A pair of Altec Lansing speakers are also connected to teh Dtech device (otherwise, I get a transistor-radio-like sound from the device).

Finally, there’s a standard Logitech keyboard and an MX1000 mouse connected to the Eee PC.
