Default Re: Mac Mini Server i7 2.0 Quad

With new mac mini's announced today. It looks like the non server I7 ivy bridge quad core could be the new goto mini for PT users on a budget.

I noticed the new server model has 2x 1Tb 5200rpm drives rather than the 7200rpm drives of the previous generation, which is a shame. There's no option to upgrade the drives other than going SSD or Fusion drive. Both mac minis use the same core processor.

I was thinking of dropping for the server model to replace my ageing Mac Pro but now I'm tempted by the non server model to use with an Apollo via thunderbolt and use external drives for audio.

What do all you Mac mini users think?
