Help Me select Mini

I bought the base model and sent it off to OWC for the upgrades. It all adds up and i could't afford to swing the 17 with all the upgrades. Should get it back Monday.

Mach2music for me. It's the combinTion of many factors such as how to use the bus, declutter the operating system, use Hard disk ans SSD in a sensible way and operate with Amarra and Puremusic. While one can probably get there on one's own, eventually, Mach2 music gets you there on the fast lane incl. offering firewire with cut power supply, etc. I think it's the most painless way to a decent server.

Mach2Music is outta business....at least for now.

Here is what I found. Comparing identically configured 2009 and 2011 (i7) Minis both with SSD and 8GB DRAM, the 2009 mini wins hands down. The biggest improvements are from Veesion 4318/19 Amarra and the SW scripts to reduce active apps.
