Yup. But, due to proximity of production facilities, your Mac Mini may contain traces of peanuts, hazelnuts, soy, milk, rye, yeast, eggs, and gluten.

And if things don't work out, we have staunch supporters, who instead of complaining, really took to the cause of making this country a better one, like you to thank. ]]>Mar 6th 2009 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/Mar 6th 2009 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/Mar 6th 2009 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/Mar 6th 2009 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/Mar 6th 2009 12:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/
(Along those same lines, I'm curious is the quad Mac Pros can take a 4GB chip or two to stretch the 8GB limit to even just 12GB, which would be more than enough for my needs.)]]>Mar 6th 2009 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/Mar 6th 2009 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/Mar 6th 2009 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/Mar 6th 2009 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/Mar 6th 2009 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/
It's actually a legitimate question. Web servers can usually keep a large amount of data in memory but not all of it, and thus disk random read speeds are really important. Also keep in mind that if we are talking about serious hosting we are not talking about a home internet connection. We are talking about MANY users with home internet connections accessing your data, and possibly many of them, accessing random bits of it. Access times becomes crucial, and a 2.5'' pata/sata 5400 or 7200rpm HDD will roll over and die if the requests get pretty bad. The reason to use FW800 or higher would be for the ability to use more powerful drives.

Depending on what the server's doing it would be perfectly fine as a more serious server too (particularly if the site fits into RAM anyway). Not a very sensible choice for that though since you can probably get better performance (even when taking into account energy usage) from other, non-Apple solutions.

Apple has had unilateral pricing for years. I'm sure if you really wanted to find out, you could look on apples website... I refuse to tell you that it starts at $599 and the next higher version is $799... I absolutely refuse.

Step 3-Open said Mini with putty knife
Step 4-Remove HDD and Disk Drive
Step 5-Locate RAM
Step 6-Using finger like objects, slightly rotate RAM clips outward from RAM
Step 7-Remove RAM
Step 8-Insert new RAM
Step 9-Reinstall HDD and Disk Drive
Step 10-Plug err in
Step 11-Discover that your RAM was not sanctioned by Apple and cry when OS X tells you so.
Step 12-???
Step 13-PROFIT!]]>Mar 6th 2009 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/Mar 6th 2009 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/Mar 6th 2009 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/Mar 6th 2009 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/Mar 6th 2009 3:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/Windows sucks.....Apple rules......All you Windows Fanbois are jealous because you can't afford an Apple.]]>Mar 6th 2009 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/
Kinda like when I overclocked my Mini G4 from 1.42 to 1.5+ with just soldering different jumpers.]]>Mar 6th 2009 8:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/mac-mini-gets-ripped-to-shreds-isnt-so-dull/I opened up devices myself and often it's very frustrating how one little thing won't work right anymore, a button that won't click right, a hum in the audio, etcetera.
Not to mention that sometimes they deliberately seem to design them so no living soul can put them back together.
