[iKoolAid] Finally ordered my new mac mini!

[Thud]

Bought it off the Apple refurb store, so I saved a nice chunk of change and I won't feel so bad when the Ivy Bridge versions come out later on. :dance:

-Mac Mini server - 2.0GHz quad core i7 (2.9GHz turbo) w/dual 500GB 7200rpm HDD's

-8GB memory kit from OWC

-Crucial M4 256GB SSD from Newegg (to replace one of the two 500GB drives)

The leftover drive will find a happy home in my older macbook pro.


This will be my primary workstation in the man cave, replacing my aging homebuilt Windows 7 desktop (with the ghetto plexi window and blue LED lights!)

Actually, not TOTALLY replacing it, since I'll still use the Big Blue Dinosaur for games-- the one thing the mini won't be good at. Not that I ever play games anymore. :rofl:

If anybody is in the market for an SSD, Newegg's price on the Crucial M4 has dropped to $249... the day after I bought it for $299. :banghead:

New Pro's come out in June...just wait another month before you buy anything

[Thud]

New macbook pro's could be out any time now... the new ivy bridge chips are already out, including the mobile quad-core i7's that would be used in the Pro's.

The new i5's and low-voltage dual-core i7's won't be out until June and those are what would be used in the next Mac Mini.

The iMac's probably won't be refreshed until the i5's are out in June.
