Hey guys
I've bought an old 2006 Mac Mini A1176 from eBay as a recycle project. So far I've upgraded the machine to 2GB ram with a C2D 2.0 Ghz CPU and a brand new Fan.
The Harddrive is a stock 160GB sata which Is too small for me. So I was wondering if it's possible to throw one of those 500GB Western Digital Scorpio Blue SATA II drive in it???

I'm a little confused about whether a 500GB SATA II drive can run in an old 2006 Mac Mini since I've read that It's possible if you move the jumpers to a certain setting and other places I've read that It's not possible?
Thanks
