[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1027215, member: 8287"] The Current Mini is not all that limited in monitor size. You might run into issues with some large HD TV's but it should drive pretty much any normal monitor. The hard drive can be changed in the Mini as well as the RAM, but you need to know a bit what you are doing. I have opened and changed the drives and ram on 3 minis and even the CPU on the older Mini. You can no longer upgrade the CPU though on the Mini, just like on the Macbook and other notebooks, it's soldered to the board. I have a 7200 RPM WD Sata in my older Mini. Works great and is quite fast. If you can afford an iMac though, I would go with that as it will be even faster and has that nice monitor. [/QUOTE]
