Well, I finally decided that the other day after returning from vacation, to get serious about buying a slightly more modern Mac than my eMac so I got a used Mini
Came with the following specs
1.66Ghz Core Duo
52Mb DDR2 RAM
60Gb Hard Disk
Combo Drive
Stopped by my favourite PC parts store(prices rock) and picked up a pair of Buffalo Select 1Gb DDR2 667 RAM sticks in SO-DIMM and a Seagate Momentus 160Gb SATA laptop hard drive (2 actually, one is going into my PC laptop and the price was extremely good)
Stuck the RAM and a HD into the Mini and restored it then upgraded it to Leopard, this little thing works great and looks killer set upon my slightly older HP w22 22 inch widescreen display and the Mini has more than enough juice to drive that monitor at it's native resolution of 1680x1050. This should of been my first Mac, not an olden iMac or the eMac....now to just get the courage to setup Boot Camp and really play with friend's heads !
Find attached my first full on screenshot from the Mini !
