Mini for Toy Conp?

Gwah

an inquiry to put to the esteemed members of this virtual community

I was wondering if there would be any significant issues with buying a Mac Mini or possibly an iMac for a "toy" computer to use in a different room in my house. I like the idea of using OSX when my artsy side is being demanding, and not to mention it's pretty. The comp would mostly be to surf the internet, play music and video, and essentialy look pretty and be an alternative to my massive e-penis Alienware that sits in my room, and is a pain to move. I do in fact have a notebook comp, but I was considering the mac anyway, as I said, as a Toy...

thanks

When you stop lying, we'll consider helping you.

alienware lol

$3200 for $900 worth of computer

I can build a machine that will nuke any alienware box for $1500

The AW was mostly laziness. Didn't feel like screwing with bios settings for 3 weeks to get everything to play ball. the parts ran around $2100-$2500 at the time, and I thought the case looked spiffy. Next power-machine will probably be a hand-build next year. but on the subject of a mac... yea or nay?

3 weeks?! What kind of motherboards do you buy, hamster-in-a-wheel?

Check ahead that everything is compatible, MAYBE have to manually set your RAM timings, and you're done!

There shouldn't be any issues, other than that Macs are a tad more expensive than a PC for what you get (the price differential is a lot better now than it was, say, 10-15 years ago). OS X solved a lot of the interop problems Classic had, and it should work on a Windows-centric network just fine.

I frequently build machines in an hour.

Both truth
Make decision based on your needs. Or "screwing with bios settings for 3 weeks to get everything to play ball" your competence, if it overrides your needs. Definetely fail.
