|
 |
I read this review http://www.divisiontwo.com/articles/MacMini2.html
And now I want a mini-mac!
Mostly so I can play around with final cut pro hd and some other shit I got from school:)
So I'm at the specs page http://www.apple.com/macmini/specs.html
Having a laugh or two  then I looked at the price 
I want to buy a mini-mac!
e-macs are what my school has right now  they piss me off 
And i-macs are out of my price-range for now
i want a mini-mac!
but 
It comes standard with 256 ram
Final cut needs 512 or something
BUT
You can upgrade it to 1gb
But I haven't found a button for that yet:(
I might be buying a mini-mac!
YAY!
Would you buy a mini-mac?

all apple products suck donkey balls and are generally a ripoff. if you really have to buy one do it, but please upgrade the ram yourself and get some cheaper ram for pc, or get yourself a nice pc barebone.

I was thinking about buying one to change environment a while. But It's pretty hard to get software and I can get a similar experience with Linux so I would advice you to buy a barebone instead and install Gentoo linux on it. You won't get a better OS experience. You can also use it as a HTPC if you want. BTW, what's up with the options?

I mostly want the mac so I can use final cut at home to finish some/work on some work/projectst:) I don’t really care for the ‘environment change’ aspect of it I’ll only use it for one thing 
I might try doing the linux thing but I’ll have to research it see what kind of development tools are out there… it’s 5 am and I woke up four times tonight I’ll google the thing after I get some decent sleep.
As for the options I don’t know. Was kind of bored methinks and in the hype of the review (if you’re talking about the poll options)
As for the options I don’t know. Apple has been known for being ‘money hungry’ (if you’re talking about the upgrade options on a mini-mac)

I have avid at home. It’s just my current pc can’t really handle it that well and rendering takes a lot longer than it should The place where I do my work stuff has imacs and emacs though I’m only exposed to emacs with final cut. I tried burning the clip on a dvd and editing it at home with avid but after I played around I got a raw file that couldn’t fit the normal dvd and I suck at compression (seriously ) so I had to buy those dual layer dvds.
Will try the Gentoo RR4 liveCD soon. In two hours when it finishes downloading
can you dual layer on a mac?

I guess you haven't chosen the correct boot sequence in your mobo. You are probably having floppy - hd - cdrom or hd - floppy - cdrom as sequence. Try floppy - cdrom - hd instead. It should boot if you have the cd rom before the harddrive.

you were right yet again :'( i had cd boot set on last. Second i moved it up one it worked... but i tired it on an old pc with a 'shitty' monitor so the resolution was kind of too big for it to handle it... once I settle my fan issue i'll try it on this pc thnx
