Mac Mini
Oooo, looky here. I've found a Mac Mini in my PC parts 'bin'!
One of the previous generations, a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo, but it only has onboard graphics - the latest ones have upgraded to dedicated nVidia graphics. Time to see what Front Row can do, and hopefully it also includes Bootcamp so it'll be interesting to install my old copy of Vista to see what it handles like (cos Windows7 isn't supported yet). But I think I can also try XBMC on it so it should be interesting. (although not exactly sure where I can use it in my house :-/ ) ![[Image: mac_mini.jpg]](http://www.mediacenterhouse.com/members/elootos/images/mac_mini.jpg) ![[Image: mac_mini_rear.jpg]](http://www.mediacenterhouse.com/members/elootos/images/mac_mini_rear.jpg)

RE: Mac Mini
Ha ha, nice photo. I take it also from your avatar that you're not Apple's biggest fan?
Don't worry, I doubt it'll become a permanent feature in my home. But it does give me something else to mess about with see what Apple are doing. elootos - mediacenterhouse.com This forum has no strict rules, just those I make up as I go along! |

RE: Mac Mini
Believe it or not I own an ipod, iphone, and regulary use itunes. But only cause of the music aspect.
My Dad owns lots of macs, but I still think there over priced. I think it's proberly a love hate relationship. "Do or do not. There is no try." Yoda |

Yeah still got it collecting dust somewhere. Just had a look at Plex and it looks intriguing. However what with me not using any Apple products not sure how beneficial to me it would be. Good find though  How you finding it? elootos - mediacenterhouse.com This forum has no strict rules, just those I make up as I go along! |

RE: Mac Mini
/prepares for the backlash....
I have been using my iMac as my main media server for years. PLEX is a great bit of kit. It got a whole lot better this year with the event of v9 Very easy to use. I love the fact that things just work (probably because i am not overly technical) I will get my coat |

RE: Mac Mini
Funny lol
I guess it's always good to have different perspectives. I can't think anything else to say about apple other than good products, just expensive. "Do or do not. There is no try." Yoda |
