Help with Mac Mini setup

Not sure about the monitor (just use my HD TV for it) but the apple keyboard and magic mouse are excellent choices that play well (I did not have to even plug any USB keyboard or anything since minute one).
Just make sure to buy some rechargable batteries

 

Looks like a great setup, one thing though, add in 8gb of ram to your newegg order, really helps that mini shine.

 

These are what I have. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145281

 

consider this wireless keyboard

I just got it today. I was tired of the smaller wireless apple keyboard. I have been using if for about 2 hours seems nice so far. It does take up a usb jack. Other then that I like it a lot more then the wireless apple board. Also get 8gb ram.

 

Looks great overall.

If you want to save some money, you can go with a different keyboard mouse combo. It really depends on your taste/style. I personally cannot stand the apple chicklet keyboards. I think they are slick looking but horrid to use.

This currently what I have hooked up to my mini. So far it's a pretty nice setup especially for the price.

 

If you sync your iPhone to iCloud already today ask yourself why you would need to connect your iPhone to the new Mac.

Anyway - I guess you'll get many different answer to yr question but as it's your valuable personal data I would advise you not to trust anyone's forum advice but read through http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296 thoroughly!

 

Doubt it.

Well that sucks a bit.. But then again...

That sucks a bit for my 2011 i7 mini, but then again. I have to say I really do not like Lion. So if Mountain Lion is anything like it's predecessor I will still try to find a work around to get SL on my mini, and get back to computing the way I am used to and what I like on my macs.
