Hi,
I'm thinking about getting the i7 2.3 Mac mini.
The primary reason, is that I want a machine running 24/7, hosting an Apache server, as well pushing two screens: a monitor and a TV.
1) Do Thunderbolt to HDMI cables carry audio?
2) In case I have multiple audio outputs 3.5mm, USB card and HDMI (and tb to HDMI); can I chose and switch output devices on the fly? Or at least duplicate audio streams on several/all outputs?
3) How hot will they run at idle? Will I hear constant fan going?
4) Installing an SSD alongside the 1tb drive it comes with, should be painless, right?
Thanks.
PS: I am not really interested in waiting for the next generation, because the current performance and form suit me, so please don't tell me to wait.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
