Is this Mac Mini useful for anything?
#12
Not great for a file server. No gigabit. Expensive PATA 2.5" drives. These older mac minis consume probably 30 watts idle vs 15 watts for the new HDMI mac minis.

However, you can stream almost anything over 100BT though. I stream 720p from a Pismo (with your old drive!) with no problem.

How good are these as servers? Would they stream movies from an external USB hard drive to an ATV2?

I have one unused I could setup this way.
