Mac mini server
The Mac mini (nicknamed the Headless Mac) is just a tiny desktop computer that provides a cheaper way in to Mac computing because you have to supply your own keyboard, mouse and monitor.
It’s a cunning way to save money if you want a Mac for your design studio, say, and have a suitable screen knocking around. Of course, if you’re buying into the Mac experience you probably want the design ethics that come with the whole iMac or bundle but that’s another matter.
Apple found, though, that some small businesses were buying a Mac mini and putting Mac Server software on it, using it as a neat way of connecting PCs and Macs together.
So, along with several (cheaper) Mac minis for consumers, Apple has tailored one as a server, supplied with Snow Leopard Server, which combines Mac simplicity with server power.
Because it’s aimed at groups or businesses that don’t have a server (Apple specifically mentions shops, law offices, classrooms and, yes, design studios), the consumer aspect has been downgraded. So there’s no CD or DVD drive, and a second 500GB hard drive is in its place, giving 1 terabyte of space which is plenty, surely? Mac minis have plenty of connections (5 USB ports!) so expansion is easy.
