Hi, I want to buy a mac, my first one ever. Now the thing is I mainly use Windows, and still be using windows. But was wondering if I could use the mac mini as a personal video recorder, if I bought an external recorder say from leadtek? I would also use an external hard drive, which I would use to record the video on there. But not only would I like to use it as a PVR, but I also would like to use it, to record music. So it will not be just used as a PVR, but also recording music.
Now my problem is I know I am going to need a lot of hard drive space and ram. Is it just best to go on the apple store and order all the upgrades, if I was going to buy the mac mini I would buy.
1.83Ghz Intel Core Duo
2GB 667 DDR2 - 2x1 SDRAM
160GB Serial ATA drive
Apple Wireless Keyboard & wireless Mighty Mouse
That comes to roughly $2000 aussie. Is it worth it to buy it for what I want to use it for? Can I do the upgrades myself for cheaper?
Thanks
