Mac Mini Still Alive? New Model Coming?

[Bwa]

Can you tell me which Lian Li case model?

Looks like the price today is a little less than what I paid. There's another version of it sans power supply, but the power supply in this one is very compact.

With a mini-ATX board, I had a little leftover room between the board & the power supply. The 45 nm Core2s & Pentium Dual Cores have very short heat sinks; plenty of room between the top of the fan and the case.

I am using the ASUS P5Q-EM board; lots of people on avsforum.com using it. Fantastic.

Regarding MacBooks in closed-lid mode, I got tired of my MBP always going back to the main screen on reboot and just bought an iMac. I found it too finicky and no way to tell the laptop to always disable the "internal" screen.

Hold on... Apple are screwing their customers because OSX won't run Windows software?

I can think of many reasons why Apple customers are currently SOL (no updated mini, phasing out of Firewire on non-pro hardware, etc), but software compatibility is not one of them.

Now, them being too expensive if you need OSX software, that's a different (and currently valid) problem.

I never said they are screwing customers over because OSX won't run software made for windows. I'm saying that the computers are more expensive and that on top of that I'm going to need a copy of Windows to run my software.

OK, thanks. While I love the performance of my HT Mini, I'd like to consolidate the two external drives. This enclosure looks like it would be suitable since it can take two 3.5" drives, three if I forgo the DVD drive (which I probably will). Now I need to find a 775 board that has digital optical output and is compatible with Kalyway 10.5...
