There are many of these for sale on the market and eBay; however, the OS for these units is locked in time and cannot be upgraded to the newer MAC OS X that has all the new features. These units are also stuck with the old MobileMe cloud service which is no longer available and cannot be used with the new iCloud offered by Apple for MAC users. Overall a great unit if you need a dedicated entertainment center device or something that does not need the new features Apple offers in Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or the soon to be released Yosemite.
Added this to my network to work with my Apple TV as the storage source for the movies. Don't let the small size fool you, it is all that any tower is just in a smaller package. It may not have many of the expansion features that some people might want, but it has enough power and speed to handle the job I planned for it.
This Mac Mini has an excellent complement of hardware & software, quite suitable for home use, up to and including graphics editing on a near-professional level.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I purchased this computer for $200 and so far it has been worth every penny. I loaded all of our movies and videos onto an external drive and it shares them to the Apple TV through iTunes. It runs speedy and flawlessly and I am so glad I made the purchase. If you are on the fence about getting a separate media server this will make your life so much simpler!
I bought one of these to use as a media center connected to our TV. I use it with an Elgato EyeTV tuner, which allows me to record and play back live tv (like a Tivo but with no subscription fees). Of course we can stream online videos from Hulu or Youtube as well. It has done everything I've asked of it.
