I also have 256Mb in 2 PS/2 bars and a BVision. I use this thing in the normal desktop case with a standard 4.5A A500-PSU.

No, it's ok. About 55°C, but the temperature sensor placed directly at the PPC.

Dude... What am I doing now?

Naw, this will be great for the morons (sorry) less fortunate folks who can't figure out how to install Zephy (or L4A, or ...).

@cgsheen,

Totally agree, I'm just scared that people like them are going to ruin the Hackintosh scene for everyone. I can see Apple introducing tougher safegards against non-Apple hardware if something like this takes off, such as releasing an efi update that stops further upgrades until it's installed. I suppose Netkas could argue that part of the fun is getting around these restrictions though :-)

I wonder if it will be a paid product or a free download that you can copy onto a usb key... I guess all will become clear on the 23rd.....
