Howdy,
I'm looking to buy a Mac mini for the purposes of installing Windows Server 2008 R2 on it. I'd need this to run headless on my desk, happilly chugging along once I have it set up.
I know older Mac mini's would refuse to boot without a display plugged in, and there's various information around the web about using a simple resistor to full it into booting. However is the same still true for the newer Mini DisplayPort Mac mini's? Do they need this resistor hack?
Cheers!
