Running through my growing list of machines and I think it is time for a change again. This is a slighty modified Intel Mac Mini. It started life off as a 2.0 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with the Nvidia graphics. I removed the stock superdrive, hard drive, and interface board.
I replaced the interface board with one from a Mac Mini server, which supports 2 hard drives. I then added a 500GB hard drive, and the neccessary cables to run eSATA out the front of the Mini. I've got this up and running with 10.6 server, it works great! I also added a 2GB stick of ram to bring it up to 3GB. Pretty stout machine. With an eSATA RAID connected I get write speeds over 170MB/s and read speeds over 230MB/s. Very very fast. More than 3x as fast as the same RAID connected via FW800. I'll include the eSATA and internal cables needed to make this work. Still have the original box and everything that goes with it. Asking $700 plus shipping with all the upgrades. I can also include a set of trial Snow Leopard server disks.
