Well, it sounds like a go then.

This is an upgrade of my ancient G5 iMac that, while still working, is sadly overtaxed. It will be moved to some secondary use.

I chose the Mac mini with the idea of driving dual monitors. Turns out that driving old VGA monitors from the Mac mini's mini-Displayport and HDMI outputs does not work well, I have the right adapters but the results are flakey. So, two 21.5" DVI widescreen monitors are on their way. Gonna spray the bezels silver to match the Mac.

The next reason for the mini is because I'm going to plug in 8 GB DRAM and a 64 GB SSD, so no reason to get a more oomphy iMac. The machine should be plenty fast with those mods.

Finally, I may wall mount the monitors and stick the mini under the desk, with wireless KB/mouse, for the cleanest work surface.

The home IT has been sorely in need of updating.
