Test 2:
With a 17" screen and a 400FW disc (LaCie extreme) it can play (express)
2 layers fine (24-25fps) rocksteady!!
800x600
This is cool, seems to work for small installations.

You could get 10 of them for $5000 odd and build a render farm for Cinema 4D...

I had Minimac´s in my mind for Kiev gigg, but I will go for that with G5´s.
the best playback would be putting a sata raptor drive in a fw400 case.
i think thats just about possible.
these guys replaced the slow internal laptop drive in side the mac mini, with a faster 7200rpm laptop drive.
resulting in 55% greater disc performance over the standard 4200rpm model
this might still not help catalyst playback much, because running media from a separate drive helps virtual memory disc hits.

My mac mini arrived.
No problems. Everything seems to work.
Dont have time to run any benchmarks
