hellllo...
 i'm very very new to mac, infact i don't know anything about them, only that i want one... now i've been using PC all my life and i want to move into mac. This MAC mini sounds nice, and can fit to my budget, i can't afford much... now, so far i've been using sonar (which means now i'll be moving into D. Performer woohooo!) for film scoring and mainly MIDI productions, not dealing with audio that much. ok sorry for saying that much, the question is - i can afford the MAC mini 1.42, i'll add a pc2700 1 GB and a 160GB 7200 (8 cache) FIREWIRE hdd... which means it'll be (in here) about - 1395$ more or less... is it worth it? will it be strong enough for, lets say - loading a full orchestra (heavy samples) into kontakt? well you get my point... it's worth it? i havn't got a clue in mac, none! hehehe please... any1 thanks, Yoav

I bought my mac-mini this morning and changed the drive by a hitachi 60g 7200 rpm (159 euros) and bougnt a no-name 1024 MO ddr 3200. Everything is going rather OK till now:) The latency is the best than i never had (64 samples under DP) and it is SO CUTE and SILENT (lower than the water circulating in my flat central heating system). I love it, though it took me 2 hours, 8 stores and documentation (see "macbidouille site) to change the two elements. I council good screwdrivers and much care:)
