You can buy a Solid state Hybrid drive, its a big step over the conventional hard drives. It's not expensive.
how to turn a late '09 mini on the cheap into some
Hi.
I have a late '09 mini with 2 GB of RAM which I currently use in my living room with a wireless keyboard and trackpad. Plan to move it to my bedroom where my system is using a 10 meter DVI-HDMI cable to connect it to my TV in the living room (got such a cable laying around). Can use my trackpad/keyboard in my living room to control the mini for normal computer duties.
Since my budget is 500 hundred dollars max I would appreciate any suggestions.
Believe I need an internal SSD, external HD, a cheap USB-SPDIF converter and music software (PM and almarra too expensive I think) and finally something to control it, maybe an old IPAD 1.
Not sure all this can be had for 500 bucks though.
Would appreciate any inputs.
