[QUOTE="Andi Licious, post: 1529563, member: 250046"] Hi All, I have the opportunity to buy one of these 2nd hand and I am looking for using it as a HTPC / media server, probably being always on and running Plex as I like its interface and my Smart TV has a Plex app too! Does it operate solely as a server or will it run as a normal Mac as well or will I need to configure anything special if I want to use it as a normal Mac displayed through my TV? Just want to make sure its useable for what I want before I buy it. Even at this good 2nd hand price its still a lot of money!!! Thanks, Andy [/QUOTE]
