Looking at the specs now, the Mac Mini is cheaper than ever though the CPU’s used in the 2 base models aren’t as powerful as the 2012 Mac Mini I have or the top of the line Mac Mini Machine but all the same, they’re an excellent computer to work with if you want to do audio production, use it as a media hub and so on, just found an article on how to turn a Mac into a fully functional Blu-Ray player and that’s handy to know since it probably would have even more power and flexibility than does my current Blu-Ray playing solution, the Sony Play Station III.
