Mac Mini model for Novice Video Editing

[opinio]

I will 100% have questions, this is going to be my first mac computer and my first time doing upgrades to a system, i'm a total noob but I usually catch on pretty fast.

That sounds scary... First time Mac user and first time upgrades

It is one thing to do experiments with peripherals, but if you are going to pull the mini apart to do SDD upgrades etc then do a lot of research on watching vids and close-up pics. It is easy, but many still rip off parts here and there.

Good luck and welcome to the world of Mac computers.

Ya man i'm gonna do as much research I can here in the next few months until im 100% sure I know what to do, but i'm also gonna have a buddy help me out who is very comfortable with building computers.

Right now I think I should be able to handle adding the RAM myself and then I just wanna figure out how to get Windows 8 running. Those two will hold me over for a little while I save up the funds for my total overhaul of this bad boy.

I know this is a few months old but...will the sonnet and vidock combo work daisy chained? I already have a segate TB connector with a 3TB drive, which is daisy chained to my display.
