I just ordered a mac mini and I am hoping that it will run Protools LE.. Does anyone have any opinions on this?

You'll need one of the following interfaces I believe:

Digi 002, Digi 002 Rack, Mbox.

Presumably any external firewire audio interface should do.
Motu 828 as an example.

As long as you have the proper latest drivers for the fw-interface.
You cannot mount any extra PCI-card inside the Mac Mini.

Well I am already using a digi 002R.. My ? is does anyone have an opinion on how well the Mac Mini 1.42GHz will run it.

..Hi! guys..

I think the way to look at the Mac Mini is as a powerbook without the screen and the keyboard.. and the mouse pad and some other little things like some ports but ... So "would a powerbook run protools LE"...?!.. sure... only you have to deal with the same issues as in a powerbook... ram memory, HD speed...etc...

It seems the major drawback.. on the Mac Mini is the supouselly total dependency on Apple for harware update... because the little thing has a case put together with clips..just like the IPOD.. which is a pain in the eye.. to deal with... well I could open and fix my Ipod.. so the little thing..shouldn't be that much hassle... if I ever would have one actually...heh..

But I bet the Mac Mini can handle Protools no problem... with a setup close to it's original standard factory especs... just throw a little ram....

Cheers guys...
