All these add ons are turning my free Mac into a 300 dollar Mac.
Keep this bookmarked for when I'm feeling rich.

[quote7a946061cd="my04accord"]Cant you just use any old notebook drive?[/quote7a946061cd]no, the mac mini has to have a optical drive with some jumper setting hardcoded into the drive itself--the mac mini's motherboard does this as well, so you need to get a drive that has some weird jumper setting that works with the mobo.

I forgot the site, but I know that there is one that installs them for $100. It's like $100 for a 1GB ram installation, $100 for a Superdrive, and some other stuff....

He was probably talking about thishttp//www.fastmac.com/ProductPage/minimax.html
All things cost $199 - I wouldn't use this as they are kind of a rip off - they keep your old drive.
He was mistaken about the price, no website sells 1GB RAM + install for $100
