|

Big drive is 160gb Seagate 7200rpm in a Macally Firewire/USB enclosure.
Middle is a small 20gb 4200rpm IBM deathstar in a crappy firewire enclosure.
Right drive is 40gb 5400rpm drive in a nice Macally Firewire/USB enclosure.
My is mouse/keyboard are wireless USB and connect to my KVM. KVM to my Mini is one USB connection, Video (not currently used as using DVI input on my monitor), and Audio. Other USB connector on the mini drives a small USB hub where I hook up my Dazzle card reader and a USB extension cable (coming out right to the left of the big external drive) for USB keys, etc. Firewire goes directly to the Big external drive and then to my iSight (on the torch lamp to watch the dog). If I need to use an additional firewire drive, I'll swap this connection out. So, I guess a firewire hub is in order but I'll wait to see if someone releases one for the mini. |

Check out the iSight on the lamp. I can't do that with mine because I have a huge bald spot! Nice setup! _________________ 1.42GHz Mac-mini

| Nice pictures. If you don't mind me asking what's the blue thing on top of your display? |
