[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1172990, member: 56379"] Sounds like an interesting project (if it wasn't for the high cost)...but you might be forgetting one thing...cooling. Stacking 3 Mac-mini's on top of each other inside a Mac-cube case...is going to generate a lot of heat. But yes...I think that you are crazy!;) Three 2.66ghz Mac-mini's will cost ($850 x 3 = ~ $2550) + ($150 x 3 =$450) = [b]$3000[/b]!!! I think that you can do a lot better with that $3000 buying something else. Besides...this project would destroy 2 Mac-Cubes!:( - Nick p.s. What I would suggest is...try doing the same project...but do it with 3 older G4 Mac-mini's (about $350-$450)...and skip the SSD drives. This way you can work out the "kinks" first before spending $3000. [/QUOTE]
