Interesting concept, but it shouldn't be called an xMac because Apple already uses the letter X in another one of its computers.

Also, 128 MB of RAM isn't enough these days, and even in a low-end machine, SDRAM is a bit too slow these days.

I'd like to see the following ports on it:
2 USB 2.0
2 FireWire 400
1 10/100 Ethernet
analog and digital audio in and out

And give it an AGP slot. Then I'm sold. I could use a computer like that.


10/100 Ethernet is assumed. Apple has not shipped a single mac without one in quite some time...
Same goes with FireWire 400... on the front of his concept, you can see one fw400 port... I'm assuming there will be at least one in the back. It would be nice if they could throw in a fw800 port.

All macs, going all the way back have been using AGP as a bus for the video card... even the compact Cube has one... you can find compatible cards online and people have successfully put Radeon 8500s into their Cubes, with a couple of mods of course.

I assume you would mean that you'd rather not the video card be soldered in. fair enough.

could work. wouldn't take too much to make such a computer, if apple decides it needs to.
