Blah. Ya ever since these puppies hit the hacking market ebay prices rose by 75%. Going to have to snipe one for a reasonable price or hit craigslist/flea market for some cheapies. They can be used for multiple purposes obviously. I wonder what the power consumption is like running one of these 24/7? Another thing to look into would be ATnT's UVerse motorola boxes. Ill get some picks of the mobo when I get a chance. http://www.motorola....pdf?localeId=33

Also quick question IndexPhinger, do you happen to know if the 64 MB CF Card limitation has been solved yet with the MSNTv boxes?

@ sub, i found 128s in my msntv style ones, turns out they have a special partitioning, while a stock card has an msdos5 boot sig these have a win-something, according to the back it sucks back 500mA
the older ones arf 2.5A 30w
if you do get 1 send your bios + 11.50 usd 10cdn ill put the custom bios on that allows win an linux to run

I just discovered my little brother's computer runs on an 854 chipset, and the graphics aren't half bad, but the way these boxes have it set up I should see a bit better preformance, because the set top boxes are more tightly designed to that CPU.

More ram? Faster FSB? What's better?

The way the hardware is arranged, as this IBM board is your run of the mill box.

the TV boxes are designed for bulk data, as they get 5mbps streams for each of the channels normally, hence why they'd be perfect for streaming video.

I had this idea, having a main device (preferably one of the white ones) as a Streamer, and the black ones as receivers.

I'd cluster them lol

I could tack them onto binrevs distributed.net

cant wait till this weekend, I'm getting an iMac for $5 and that intel mobo.

will post pix.

If you don't mind telling us how you go about getting your hardware? Bribes? lol.

telco trash, that guy, the trashbin of telus technicians.

trashin 4 Dox is so 1990

[IndexPhinger]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu~

The mobo my girlfreind got me takes RDRAM and has a soldered bios, at least she tried I love her for that.

I guess I could sell it and get another intel mobo.

Telus technicians? Do you mind giving me social engineering advice?

Show an interest, befriend them, just don't let too much on, even if he/she asks you where you learned that, just tell them the internet is a very good resource

Cause Hackers who wanna drop yo dox = Bad.

Inquisitive person who did his research = A good conversation.

[IndexPhinger]

Bump - More research has lead me back to them, But I still dont have a shitty Pentium 4 478 socket Intel 854 based mobo wich to mod with...unless someone can dig one up and send it in a bubblepack in the mail to here.

but behold! some nekid pics of the black models.
