I'm looking to move to a Mac mini in my bedroom. I currently have a 2600k in a mini tower. I really need to lighten the load in the bedroom. I don't play games anymore and I figure that since I have the Mac Book Pro, iPad, iPhone, that I would go the mac mini route for the bedroom.
My Needs
Internet browsing. Usually 10 tabs open at a time.
Downloading from Usnet frequently.
Playing music, some video watching, etc
I have a 28 inch monitor.
I would put a second HDD into the Mini and put one of my SSD's as the main boot drive. All my Usenet files once processed will transfer to my Synology Nas to play videos/music throughout the house. I would also up the ram myself to at least 8gb.
Not sure which unit to get. The Lion server i7 2.0? The i7 2.7 dual-core? or even lower unit?
