Mini's are due for a refresh, wait if you can.
I think, I read somewhere that you can take out the optical drive and put in another hard drive. Connecting the optical via firewire ? Possible by some third party kit?
To be limited to a max of 4gb of ram sucks, although I have heard of people running logic only and getting upwards of 50 tracks. Again that is hear say so I really don't know if that's true.
Good luck,
and if you do decide to get the mini let me know how it works out, cause I was considering it before i chickened out and went with the Imac i7.
only had the imac 3 days, then noticed a small crack in the glass--apple is replacing the whole unit.
Never had a chance to install logic 9, although before I sent it back--I had to see if I could crash it. Approx. 15 tracks garage band "loaded" and playing, 1 hi-def video playing, i-tunes playing, Superior Drummer 2 playing, ton of Safari pages open, running apps from the dock and a couple more things I can't remember.So I checked the activity monitor , said it had 85% CPU available :eeek:I gave up. I know this wasn't a proper test but I was very impressed.

Now you can have up to 8gb ram, and the mac mini snow leopard server cruises at 7200 rmps sweet upgradethey should have increased the hard drive speed on the regular mac mini though. I wonder how hard it would be to change that hard drive?
