Plus, the original poster said that he wants to run MythTV and the MythTV group just got it running properly on the 2010 Mac Mini. It is discussed in the MythTV User email list. The only disadvantage to a Mini as MythTV back end is that it won't hold a bunch of drives, and there's no room for internal tuner cards. However, if one is using something like the HD Homerun tuner (TV tuners with USB or Ethernet interfaces) then the tuner card issue isn't. And the NewerTech MiniStack makes a very nice external hard drive case which stacks perfectly under a mini, although, I think I might put some little rubber feet on the bottom of each device to provide a little more air space in between. Honestly, if the main purpose of a computer is to run MythTV under Ubuntu, why not just build a PC out of PC parts in a nice PC case? Something like the Antec 2480 is a beautiful HTPC case but with not a lot of room for drives. If one wants terabytes and terabytes something like the Antec P183 or even the Antec Twelve Hundred might be a good choice. And when it's all said and done, it will still probably cost less than that used G5. Two years ago I built a MythTV box based on an MSI logic board, Intel 7200 Core 2 Duo and an Antec P180 case. I think it all cost me less than $600, including four tuner cards, but not including hard drives. I did find some good sales including an in store special on the case at Frys. One of these days I might even find the time to actually install Mythbuntu. Sigh.

Re: G4 Power Mac M5183 up grades!!!
I found this on newegg for $55.00 do you think it would be good for this computer??? I can't seem to find any better deals on ebay and this is a new one... Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5 Internal Hard Drive... Also I heard some mention about a SATA PCI card, will I still need to get this to make better improvement to this machine and will it help the HD too??? Thank You!!! Rich Ok the computer was built around July 2002 it has a 466mhz processor, 896mb (1-128mb/1-256mb/1-512mb), ATI rage 128 pro video card, 30G 5400rpm IBM Deskstar HD (March 2001), Sony CD-RW CRX140E, IOMEGA ZIP 250... I think for now all she needs to do is add 2 more 512mb cards, 7200rpm HD, probably that SATA PCI card, and Tiger and I think she will be good to go??? If we get everything used off ebay this should keep the price under $100, I already have the Tiger disc... She has a HP 23 monitor from the PC she is using now but I think she will have to change the video card to run that monitor??? I'm not sure if this Gateway 2000 CrystalScan 16 I found will be good enough though??? This is where I'm at with this right now and it's up to her, I do not think she would even have a problem with spending $200 because she tells me she loves this machine!!! I have a friend who has this G4 Power Mac M5183 tower and keyboard she doesn't have the monitor, she wants to upgrade this machine to it's full capacity and run Tiger 10.4.11 so she can do her web design work and it needs to be dual boot OS9.2.2 too... She can't afford a new one and she is frustrated with the PC she is now using... Anyone out there have any ideas??? I know we need to max the memory and I don't know what the max is... How about a HD what would be the best and the biggest to make it faster??? How about upgrading the processor??? I haven't opened it up yet to see what it has in it yet, but she wants to do everything she can to get some more yrs out of it... As far as she knows it is still stock except for maybe memory...

There are a small number of SATA PCI cards which are fully compatible with a G3 or G4 PPC Mac, and fewer still which are fully compatible with a G5 PPC Mac. These usually incorporate the Initio chip set and its firmware, and are usually sold under the LaCie or OWC brand names, although the two are different: the LaCie only offers external sata connections (although the external connector is actually an iSATA connector) whereas the OWC offers the user's choice of internal SATA (using iSATA connectors) or external SATA (using eSATA connectors) or any mixture of the two, for a total of two drive connections. The Initio cards are fully bootable in at least G3 and G4 Macs.

Re: PowerMac G5 Performance
I own a dual G5 and it is an amazing machine. I bought mine for just upwards of $150 plus $50 for a terabyte hard disk from a surplus. I'd say go for it over a mac pro. The only upside of the mac pro is that it is an Intel mac. Sent from a computer running either the SPARC, Itanium, or PowerPC architecture.

Beautiful - it really gave me the comparison I was looking for. Again, thanks. I'm not sure about encoding a DVD to TiVo, but I have done a lot of encoding of uncompressed MOV files to H.264 streaming files. To give an example, with my old Dual 1 Ghz Quicksilver 2002, it would take about 20 minutes to compress a 20 minute clip. Roughly a 1:1 compression time. My Dual 2 Ghz G5 will do the same movie in anywhere from 7-10 minutes. My 13 MBP with a 2.26 Ghz Core2Duo will compress the same movie in anywhere from 5-7 minutes. I haven't compressed a DVD on my Macs in a long time, I usually dedicate the desktop PeeCee to do that since it usually sits idle anyway. Modern software is explicitly written to take advantage of the Intel platform, so you definitely do get a tremendous boost in performance. I haven't had the joy of using a MacPro personally (still too rich for my blood), but with the speeds I've experienced with my MBP and my iMac at work, I've been relatively impressed. I do wish Apple had stuck with PPC since it was one of the things that made them unique in the computer world. Nowadays I view them as a PeeCee with the privilege of running OSX. The thing to consider is the cost of what you're looking at. A Dual G5 can be had for around the $500 mark. A MacPro can be had for about 6x that with roughly twice the performance of the G5 (or more depending on how many cores it has). It really all depends on what you're looking to spend, how much of a hurry you're in, and what you really want to do with the machine. Regarding the link, I know it's old news, but I like reports with numbers, comparisons, and relatively complete testing of various aspects of the machines. I never go by synthetic benchmarks, I like to find reports of people's real-world experience with the hardware in question (hence why I give times of compression of videos I've actually compressed!).

JT I guess even WD has a fluke every now and then :P All kidding aside though, I have trashed brand new WD drives that were given to me. I refuse to use one, I have had too many issues with them. I have seen close to half of the brand new drives be dead or dying out of the box from the vendor. This was out of a box of 20 hard drives. I have also seen too many WD fail at the company I currently work for. We have an almost equal spreading of Maxtor, Seagate, WD, even some Quantum drives out there as well as Hitachi in fact. I have seen a couple Maxtor go, same with Seagate and Hitachi. However, from my personal experience, it speaks volumes when you have 6 WD drives just up and die, no warning, no clicks, no smart failures, just dead, all in the course of a 2 week span. This isn't an isolated incident and they aren't all on the same machine or even machine type or on the same floor. They are spread between PC and Mac alike.
