[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1438119, member: 110816"] For that budget, the Mac Mini might be your best bet. Perhaps one from the 2008-2009 era with the faster processors. I had a 1.83 GHz 2006 Mac Mini that I initially used for XCode development and with a supported maximum of 3GB of memory that thing was a little bit of a sloth when it came to performance.. When I upgraded to my i7 iMac with 12GB of memory it was like a day and night difference in performance.. But if budget is your driving force and you already have a LCD, keyboard and mouse you can use..then the Mac Mini will fit the bill I think.. [/QUOTE]
