[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1639059, member: 56379"] Two questions: 1. Do you need an internal optical drive? 2. What do you want to be able to upgrade? In Mac-Mini's (as with almost all Mac computers except Mac Pro's)…pretty much the only parts that are upgradeable is the hard drive/storage & ram. An example of a pretty good Mac-Mini. Here's one from the UK Apple Store (refurbished) for £339.00. It does not have a built-in optical drive…the ram is upgradeable (which is great)…and technically the hard drive is not upgradeable (but it is possible for a enterprising person).:) [url=http://store.apple.com/uk/product/FD387B/A/refurbished-mac-mini-25ghz-dual-core-Intel-Core-i5]Refurbished Mac mini 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 - Apple Store (UK)[/url] Here's the HD removal procedure if you're interested: [url]https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac+Mini+Late+2012+Hard+Drive+Replacement/11716[/url] - Nick [/QUOTE]
