Mac mini Setup

[MacMike1000]

hey the Mac MIni G4 is not an Intel machine, does it run smooth and fast? Can it play dvdmedia file?

[roxasnobody9]

@MacMike1000

DVD an Dvd rips YES , HD media Nope

[MrNuun]

Heey, Ur dutch? Like your setup! I'm getting it myself to only a bit diffrent. I'm getting the Mac Mini and the new Apple LED Cinema Display 24" flat panel. Awsomenes :)

[debilio]

If I where you I would get an iMac which is way more bang for your buck imho.

The mini is being really neglected spec-wise and I wouldn' count on any love from Apple..

[scbeering]

go for the logitech z-2300... way better

[zwe2]

Mac mini is portable. Maybe he does actual work on his mini and travels with it. :D

[somefreak90]

It's not that portable in my opinion. You need to bring a display with you, unplug all the components, bring a keyboard and mouse with you, and the power cord with you. ... or maybe it's the way mine is set up...

[SGlumberg]

If you get the mini as a portable computer, its likley for presentations(powerpoint, keynote). A mini is fine for this, just use a projector on location.

[balinmar]

mac min and a cinema displas?? why??? imac 24' 2.8ghz is almost the same price if not cheaper and a much much better computer.

[nickloss]

i never understand y ppl buy a mac mini and an apple display,. its the same price for an imac with better specs

[ItzAmazingBrian]

True.

[Macuserppcintel]

well yeah the point of the mac mini was to get pc users to buy mac and use there keyboard mouse and display

[wontonsaregood]

talk about WIGGER

[atubaman1]

because he likes hiphop?

[wontonsaregood]

yes.

[theapplefreakk]

wow nice setup!

i wanna get the z4i. :D

Does it have good quality?

[DragonVeeku]

lucky son of a! i want that big screen for Photoshop! your very lucky!

[th3sp0rk]

nice display lol expensive

[VidalAvila]

you could have boughten two new monitors.

[hockmass126]

boughten isn't a word

[JackdotTaylor]

Lol

[johnmonk66]

your setup beats the one i had because of your monitor, but my keyboard and mouse win out, lol.

i miss my mac mini, it was so damn quiet.

[williamli]

did the display cost more than the mini?

[debilio]

Yes :)

At the time I bought the mini for 325€ and the display for 350€. And I didn't regret it for a second. The Cinema Displays are really top notch.

[williamli]

i just hooked my mini to my normal lcd tv... it's not high def but it's 27" so i can actually see stuff on it :p

i will post my setup later

[williamli]

can you delete this comment i just made... it was meant for another video that i was watching... better go to sleep now... starting to do silly things.. it's almost 3am here

[Cdrust]

I am getting a Mini in like 10-14 days.... I have a Monitor and I am going to hook up Boston Aucoustics Speakers to the Mini. The DVI-VGA conector/adapter included with the Mini or is that a seperate purchase that I need to make ?? TY

[debilio]

It's included.

[AppleMacs101]

would you say get a mini or imac?

I just want to video edit photo edit store my collection and use garage band?

What happens about internet security on safari? how fast is it?

Thnx debilio

[debilio]

Well, I think the first question you have to ask yourself here is "Do I already own a screen, keyboard and mouse that I'm satisfied with?" If so, I guess you could consider the mini with the fastes configuration although the speed and capacity of the harddrive might be a bottleneck since you're planning on doing all those HD-intensive thing like video-editing.

[debilio]

Personally I would go for the iMac. Not only are they very beautiful machines but they als outdo the mini in every single spec (size aside). And of course, you don't have to worry about getting a nice/good keyboard and mouse that matches your setup.

[debilio]

Whether to go for the 20" or the 24" I think that's a matter of budget. If you have the money I would definitely go for the 24" because the screen is of a better quality than the 20" one. And of course you can never have enough screen estate :)

Good luck with it!

PS: What do you mean with "What happens about internet security on safari?"

[rammsteinator]

i have a mini because im not rich lol but i do find the hard drive rubbish on it plus my 160gb external drive crashed and died while i was imovieing and i lost about 100gb of stuff.... i would love an imac, but i do find the minis size brilliant, i take it to school with my video projects on and use the school monitors and it attracts lots of attention :)

[nickhowes2]

is that scrren saver built into osx or is it 3rd party?

[debilio]

Just click on "more" in the "About This Video-section" and a whole new world shall open for you. ;)

[meisinscotland]

Do the minis come with a DVI-VGA adapter?

[debilio]

Yes

[meisinscotland]

Great

[TySpoonz]

So far the only reason i would swap my PC gaming machine for that mac, is the screen saver, very very cool.

Monitor looks nice to, but i already have a 24"

[meisinscotland]

The Apple displays are class.

[lakyab]

nice :) never knew u switched. I might with my next machine as well

[Knifywolf]

that mac mini setup is like exactly the same as my set up, except you desk seems much cleaner

[joeab09]

Surly that monitor cost more than the mini itself :p

[creativeatheart]

but them monitors are worth it!

[lifeinhd]

Hey man what keyboard/mouse set you got I'm interested if its BlueTooth how much did it cost? Also the speaker set, what type is it, how much did it cost? I'm getting a MacBook soon, I need extras like that, so if you could tell me that'd be great.

[debilio]

If you would just click on '(more)' on the right side of the video (right under 'About This Video') you would see it's all there..

And it isn't bluetooth? You can see the receiver plugged in at the back of the Cinema Display (01:25)

[lifeinhd]

Ok, thx.

[Rjnicko]

not long get my macbook in 28 days

[monserpq38]

advice - don't put that subwoofer under your desk put it on top, you get a better sound - well i noticed it anyway!

[debilio]

Bass is not directional, as long as you can hear/feel it, it's fine.

[monserpq38]

Yeah but you can hear it more on top of the desk.

[AceZero7]

ahhhh you stole my speakers lol

[Deeangoe]

dope setup and song!!!

[Rjnicko]

mac mini is great mine has a upgraded 2.33Ghz core 2 duo 2GB ram 160GB hard drive and for xmas i get my macbook only 97 days to go

[Cherrymouth]

Looks very cool man, I think Logitech makes great things for Mac.

Still saving for an iSight or just a Mac Pro? =P

[soussitox]

Looks very good man :) Keep the apple stuff flowing héhé
