So I suddenly have a spare Mac Mini here. It's the first of the Intel ones so it's just a Core Solo, but I figured perhaps I could turn it into a file-server with a large internal drive replacing the DVD drive.
Has anybody done this or know of anybody that has? Does a 3.5" drive fit where the superdrive is now, or do I have to go 2.5"?
Looking at specs I think there's a chance that the superdrive in my Mini has a P-ATA interface, so perhaps it would be better to disconnect the HDD as well and just pull the cord (or replace it with a longer one) up to where the superdrive is to connect just one 3.5" drive?
