So I just bought a Mac Mini...

[Hiphoplives4eva]

And I must say, this thing is a fukking engineering marvel! Im setting up a home theatre and wanted to put a media pc in there. I initially was going to build one but after all the headaches I went through building my current tower, I was like

Anyways, so I scoured online looking for suitable pre-made Windows media center PCs. The selection was trash. The idea of putting one of these monstrosities in my threatre had ya boy like

Now I decide to make my way to the Apple Store and actually mess with the oft forgotten Mac Mini. I've always heard it was too expensive and shyt, so I always ignored it. But after seeing it in person........... I fell in love. The shyt is literally the size of a gotdamn box of choclates, yet contains a 2.5ghz i5 processor, 500 gig HD, AMD graphics card, and all other kinds of shyt. Futhermore, the shyt uses less power than a lightbulb, has no fans, is ultra quiet, and is overall an breathtakingly beautiful piece of tech. This thing would make a great primary PC for alot of people, espcecially students!

Why this thing isn't pushed more is truly baffling. But I guess when you eating off of the other numerous marvels your company creates Jobs is like

Yea, it solid... Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and a small HD TV, would be awesome for travelling. (I hate laptops)

Help me out breh. What's a good website to learn how to fully use this thing? And what is usenet? Please Message a brother if necessary. Ive already downloaded and installed Plex, and a bunch of codecs, but Im not sure what else I need to do to fully realize the server potential of this beast.

the reason nobody talks about it is because when you factor in everything else you have to throw at it...you should just get an iMac (which is a much more capable machine)

It's basically a nice machine if you have an HDTV or Monitor you are not using, have a spare wireless keyboard and mouse, and want to try Mac OS X without hacking a custom built one.

Oh and btw, the one with the Radeon chipset is $800...that's ridiculous.
