kickassimacg5 Registered: 08/19/06 Posts: 38 Loc: Australia	Can someone tell me if it's possible to make a UMPC out of a Mac mini, what battery to use, how to get the screen in etc? _________________________ Naomi Robson Looks Horny ugh!

kickassimacg5 Registered: 08/19/06 Posts: 38 Loc: Australia	That's basically what I'm looking for but I want a cross between both with a battery from a laptop. Also, can I put a Merom (Core 2) chip to replace the old Yonah (Core Solo/Duo) one inside for more power? _________________________ Naomi Robson Looks Horny ugh!

manhackman Registered: 04/26/06 Posts: 173	as far as batteries go, I would probably choose something like this external laptop batt. A lot more versatile, and you may be able to find somthing with the right voltage... and the charger is built in. http://www.batteryspace.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1529 _________________________ >Mac mini PPC / 1.42 Ghz / 1GB RAM / 74.41GB 4200rpm 2.5" / Airport + Bluetooth / 10.4.7 / 20.1" LG widescreen >G4 400 PPC / 20 gig / 768MB RAM / ZIP drive / 10.4.7 /17" apple SD / Back up system >Powerbook Titanium 1Ghz / 40GB / 512MB RAM / mashed up and waiting for a good mod! >Macintosh SE/30

kickassimacg5 Registered: 08/19/06 Posts: 38 Loc: Australia	Now who sells Merom Core 2 chips? I know companies sell Conroe Core 2s and Yonah Core Solo/Duos but not Meroms. _________________________ Naomi Robson Looks Horny ugh!

TCPMeta MacModder Registered: 11/16/07 Posts: 1816 Loc: Florida, USA	Ebay sells a lot of 7 to 14 inch touch screen LCDs. They're made for cars but they work just as well for diffrent applications. _________________________ To live is to let die
