Thanks https://PCBWay.com! Now that we've sorted the scorched power regulator board, how far can we push this incredible piece of early 2000's computing art? I want to stick an MSATA SSD in this thing, but it involves way too many adapters to be viable... maybe. Also, since we've more than doubled the clock speed to a 1.2GHz G4 and maxed out the RAM to 1.5GB, can this thing do the unthinkable and actually play YouTube? Let's find out together!
