[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1799687, member: 110816"] Assuming it's the Intel based Mac Mini, that machine can be likely upgraded up to El Cap or so. But that might push the machine to the edge of what it's capable of doing. If your use case is pretty low key (and you don't mind waiting), then it might be worth it. These machines made pretty good home theater systems back in the day, but today you're better of going down the Apple TV route. If you have no real use for it (and rather than making up one), you might want to see if your local school or places like Boy and Girls Club could use the machine for anything. [/QUOTE]
