I just dug up my old Dell Optiplex 745 (1.83 Core2) and upped the RAM from 2 to 4 Gig, upgraded the video card to something with HDMI (GeForce 1Gig 8600?) Had an 80G (!)HDD and installed a 500G Seagate as slave using the original as just OS boot.

Hard to think that just a few years ago 80G HDD was a lot. The OS couldn't even install until I deleted virtually everything except XP.

Installed Windows 8 which is a frustrating freak OS to figure out but I'll tell ya, this thing flat out FLIES.

Windows 8 is pretty good on an old machine. Impressive.

Was gonna do new Mac Mini but no need now.
