I just went from a 3.06ghz Core i3 iMac with 8gb of ram, to a 2.3 quad i7 Mac Mini, with an SSD and 8gb of ram.....the mini flies, it's really a big difference on processor intensive stuff....One good thing, is that i can now put an Aperture library on my desktop, on the SSD, and work from it....i'll put stuff in there temporarily, edit, and then move them off to my internal 1tb drive (Mac Mini has a spot for 2 drives)....i will say, that i put a 256gb SSD in, and i prob need to swap it for a 512gb..but that's easy enough to do....
Oh yeah, and my Mini was $679, refurbished straight from Apple...same warranty and Apple care options as factory units (although i didn't buy any b/c i put the 2nd drive in)......the SSD was less than $200, and the ram was like $65......so for less than $1k, you get a sick machine......i already had a 21.5' Dell Ultrasharp (about $200), and then i grabbed a 19" monitor just to set to the side for addition desktop space......The mini really is the way to go.....
