Hardware, Embedded Systems I have been an omni-platform user, Windows, OS X and Linux user for some time now. I love different things about each platform and loathe just as much as I like about all three. The release of the Mac Mini at MacWorld really made me wonder if Apple made good move in jumping into the low range market. I decided the best way to see was to compare the Mini to my primary box, a similar system in specifications and price.

No, you are NOT out of luck with a Mini Mac...

You simply buy the 120gb (or better drive) and an External FW case for $35, and you are set.

You don't buy this machine to be an expandable miracle machine...

It's an inexpensive, all-in-one, what you buy is what you get, box...

If you want something expandable, buy a used G4, or one of the newer G5 PowerMacs.

People will "hack" expansions into the Mini. But, it isn't designed for that.

Just like people hacked the "Hyperdrive" or SCSI into Mac 128's/FatMacs.
