My Mac Mini Setup Is Great!

[iknowyourider]

I have a 1.83 C2D Combo 1gb 80 hdd. I recently restored it with the original tiger install discs. I did not setup email or transfer any data. I cloned my Leopard MB to a 250 gb WD Passport.

I am booting the mini with the passport. It runs awesome. I am not doing anything professional and it is perfectly fast. I have Alesis studio monitor speakers, Acer 22" display, bluetooth KB and mouse. I am right now Listening to Dead Show Podcast (downloaded), watching the Forum Spy, checking email every minute and looking at iphotos just to check stability. Last night I watched a mp4 movie while doing other tasks with no problems. I just checked my fan speed of 1509. I just muted speakers to check hdd noise and it is very smooth and almost silent.

I hate sounding negative and rude, but some posts here have no point... why not reply this to Post Your Setup thread? Unless there was some specific problem you solved by with this setup, then share!

I'm sorry, I didn't know there was a setup thread unless you're talking about in the photo gallery. I actually solved a few problems here. I upgraded my mini from tiger to leopard, tripled my hdd space, got my desktop back to sync with my notebook and untethered my notebook from the widescreen. I think the coolest thing is it worked and I wanted to share that with anyone interested.
