Hey
I've been trying to get a cheap Intel Mac Mini for a while now, to use as a media center. I don't want an apple tv. I want a real computer. But I won't use it every day so I want it cheap, but fast enough to play at least 720p H264. So I was looking for a 1.5GHz intel mac mini, but even those machines are going for $400+. Way too much. Plus for that much, i'd just throw in $200 more and get a dual 2GHz instead of a single 1.5GHz. Anyway, it occurred to me that A broken MacBook might be the prefect deal. I could put it on the shelf and you'd barely see it. By broken I mean cracked/dead screen. I also have a hard drive and RAM for it, so a really bare bones stripped MacBook would be great, Rev1 1.83ghz would be plenty of power.
So the point of all this, my question is, anyone know a good source for such broken macbooks? There are a few on ebay but they're prices are REALLY high.
