Hi Macrumours
I am planning to output two "Apple intermediate codec" (i.e. uncompressed CPU friendly) 1080p content to two different monitors.
1 x mini mac
vlc app
2 x 1080p projectors
I am running this no problem from a 2.4 unibody macbook pro 5,1 with 6G ram, 80G ssd in place of the optical drive and NividiaGforce9400 graphics.
It runs all day long...
My question;
What is the minimum mini mac needed to do this?
I want to buy as cheap as possible, second hand from Ebay (and pimp it a little with OWC parts if needed). I won't be using it for any other purpose, so thats why the graphics will be at a minimum.
Will any of the models Macmini1,1, Macmini2,1, Macmini3,1 be sufficient or do I need as a minimum the Macmini4,1 unibody.

Advice would be appreciated!
Thanks.
