(Price adjusted, price now includes shipping in CONUS. I now have TWO of these upgraded Minis, both with power supplies)
Hi Swappers, I'm relisting one of the Mac minis that I had up previously, but this time with some serious overhauling and upgrades. It's been a fun project and now it's time to get her a new home. I've stress tested the system to make sure everything works and it's running 100% stable. I've just got the one upgraded Mini right now, but I'm working on the other two and getting them upgraded to the same specs. I'll list those once I've completed the upgrades and testing. Upgrades I've done: * Core Duo to Core 2 Dup CPU swap, installed a T7200 C2D 2.0 GHz, used Arctic Silver 5 and new nylon bolts on the heat sink. Runs cool and stable, stress tested for 8 hours maxing out the CPU, doesn't get past 75 C on max load. * Macmini1,1 to Macmini2,1 EFI firmware upgrade. This allows the Mini to use more than 2 GB max memory. Can now use 2x 2 GB sticks for optimum speed (3.2 GB recognized however, due to 32-bit chipset limitations, but the matched pair is faster than a 2 + 1 stick combo.) * 2x 2 GB PC2-5300 DDR2 memory, matched pair, total of 4 GB with 3.2 GB usable. Fastest combo for this machine. * 500 GB, 7200 RPM hard drive, wiped per list rules :-( This machine runs Snow Leopard like a champ and boots very quickly. I'm actually very impressed with it, and I'm used to a Retina MacBook Pro! It can also run Lion 10.7, but that requires a bit of hackery to install (you need a supported Mac and a FireWire cable). I've tested the Mini with SL and Lion and both run great. As per list rules, I'll have to wipe the drive and ship it blank, so you'll have to bring your own copy of SL or Lion. Includes 110W adapter.
