Dream Machine

Apple updated it’s desktop line yesterday and finally gave the Mac Mini a new lease of life. The new Mini is significantly faster with a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo and a 9400M NVIDIA graphics processor. All of these specs make it a perfect media hub… almost. The only missing component is a BluRay drive, which I suspect isn’t long coming.

A long(-ish) term plan is starting to form in my head: a stellar home cinema system. This new Mac Mini with an Elgato HD satellite tuner, connected to a DisplayPort LED, possibly Apple’s rumoured 30″ Cinema Display screen running one of my favorite apps, Plex.

Right, time to set up a Dream Machine fund.

Hi. I'm Hani and this is my blog. I also have some photos on Flickr, bookmarks on Delicious, tweets on Twitter and generalities on Facebook as well. Most of the time I can be found at Prime Focus in London, crafting commericals using Flame.
