And now something completely different:
I’m a Mac/iPhone-Developer and so I’m Mac only. I’ve my MacPro “bootcamped” to play GPL,GTL, GTR2, Power&Glory and rFactor…. but I would prefer to have a dedicated Machine for racing.
So I thought to buy a “tiny” box which I can hook to my TV and play in 1080 ….
can the eeeBox with Atom / nVidia ion do the job?
What would you suggest? I don’t want to spend more than $500 … otherwise I would buy a mac mini for the TV… and still have to bootcamp

Grow up, Get a PC

Right, because Macs are for kids while PCs are for grown ups
Matze, I´m not much into PC hardware really but I don’t think a Atom CPU will cut it for most sims.
The problem is that you really can’t find any fairly powerful PC that is as small, silent and with such a low energy consumption as the Mac Mini – That’s why I love it so much.
Your best bet is to get a Mac Mini and use bootcamp. In order to run modern sims to the max you would have to get a “proper” gaming PC alongside the Mac – That’s what I´m doing and sims are the sole reason I´m turning the PC on for.

@DeadStar
I’m a indie Mac- and iPhone-Developer …. so, I think I’m grown up enough.
