The Mac Mini hard drive can easily be replaced by a 7200 RPM drive. Mine is running with a Hitachi 7K100 drive and it is way faster than the original drive. And replacing the hard drive does *not* void the warranty.

Mac Mini as Firewall
Hi All, I am considering getting a Mac Mini (1.4 Ghz, Bluetooth, Airport Extreme) version and want to use it as firewall with OpenBSD (+ an extra USB NIC). I've checked the macppc port webpage and see it's supported. I am soliciting opinion on what people think of this setup to serve: - VPN Router (With X509/PSK) - Firewall with QoS - Squid Proxy - Mail Server - About 2000/mails a day and 5 account - Web Server - Dynamic content [ Mambo and gallery2 ]. - DNS/DHCP Server Can I use the in-built Airport Extreme card to serve as an AP with authentication etc. (replace the Wireless Router)? Has anyone done this? With a mini? Any good howto's (other than the man page)? Warm Regards, -Bruno

The airport extreme card is not supported (blame Appple and Broadcom). -Otto
