turbotuli

Woohoo, they were in stock this morning and I got the $479 model! I figured the extra processor speed, 20gigs and DVD burning was worth it. Props to my girlfriend for having go to work at 6am and waking me up :P Should be here Thursday and I am definitely looking forward to it.

No I am jealous. I would have gladly paid $50 for those options!

I'm planning on having the same set up, although there are a few more things i want to do:

1. Use my phone via bluetooth and the front end, will the built in bluetooth in the mac mini work for phone purposes? or do i have to get one of those dongles?

2. I want to be able to listen and control the radio through the mac mini, all i could find was that am/fm tuner on the mp3carstore: http://store.mp3car.com/HQCT_High_Quality_Car_Tuner_FM_Radio_p/com-009.htm which is pretty pricy, 150$, and it looks like it's supposed to be inside a computer case. Are there any cheap external alternatives?

Thanks in advance!

Griffin Radioshark but it doesn't have the best reception on the go.

Thanks! i wonder if anyone had opened the radioshark up and rewired the antenna to the stock radio antenna.. i dont know much but i know that radio antennas are just a piece of wire.

Search on terms radioshark. Someone here did an external antenna mod awhile ago.
