The machine I ended up purchasing was a Mid-2010 Mac Mini with a Core 2 Duo processor and 320gb harddrive and 2gb of ram. Well this one comes from the longing to have a little Mac Mini on the network, maybe something I could VNC into and iMessage from my Windows Desktop, something on the network to serve as a local Time Machine host and content cache. I’ll admit, I’ve got a bad habit of buying stuff I don’t need… starting projects on a whim etc.
