[QUOTE="Miffle, post: 399202, member: 28840"] The main thing is you want a nice and powerful CPU, its up to you if you think the mini is powerful enough Space will be a real concern, you can get external drives if you want but if you want it all tucked away (Or you just want a lot of internal stroage, want to play with RAID) you'll be going for another PC tower The intergrated graphics will be fine. If you'd like to use 3D applications or the new 3D features in the CS3 you'd need a dedicated graphics card 2GB is great! you'll simply have more expansion options with a PC tower or a mac pro tower, if you don't see yourself moving into 3D, external drives being fine and have the need for only one monitor the mini should do you fine [/QUOTE]
