the drive got here yesterday :) it is probably about the size of the mini (which is on its way from china right now)…quite heavy, but still nicely small enough that it can be hidden somewhere within our entertainment centre :)

Looks like a very nice Hard Drive – Good price too!

Maybe a little big though :) – Almost as big as the mac mini?

ordered a hard drive to sit with it. the mini will be our home file (pictures, music, eventually video) server, basically. Tara, i'd definitely juice the Woz factor for all its worth.

I’m kinda considering picking one of these up to replace my work G4 (which is my old “home” G4…) but I’ve gotta see how much I can sell the work G4 for before I’ll know for sure.

I wonder if the fact that it used to belong to Steve Wozniak will help?

I would be very interested to hear whether you manage to stick another RAM module in there – If it is possible, then that’s what I’ll do when I buy mine – Their prices are indeed ridiculous. And that article was incredible, that guy has some serious insight!

Great article link. It’s always a sign when fairly well-to-do companies that existed cease to exist for seemingly no reason nowdays, that something’s up like a buyout (it happened with iWork)…

I’m currently trying to research any Universal Remote control solutions that include being able to control the mini from the same, since this will replace our DVD player.

Will post pics!:)

Cool! You should post a picture once you got it all set up, I’d love to see it.

I am crushing on this Mac Mini. I also found Robert X. Cringely’s artice very interesting and very likely. Check it here http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20050120.html
