Works flawlessly!! My neighbour just bought the latest Mac mini 2 GHz SD for € 699 = US$ 1120. (Remember, we are in The Netherlands, EU). Guess what I can do with the price difference of € 500 = US$ 800 to expand/optimize the MDD!!! Planning to put in 1 GB RAM extra, a PCI USB 2 -, a SATA -, Video/TV - and SCSI - card. Some parts I already have but I'll let you know what I paid for the rest. But for me it's sure, I'll never swop this MDD with my neighbour's latest Mac mini. But (again) that's my way of Mac using. I have alot of clients being very happy with their Mac mini. So it's all up to your spec. wishes. Jo Hissel
