The Mac Mini can be controlled from the Beo 4 witht either Beoport or Lintronic or IRed/IRtrans. So if you like a dedicated media server this could become very nice. Except Beoport(that doesnt support fast scrolling) it is a bit fiddly though, i.e. it will take you some work (and frustration) to get it running.<div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder" /></div><div>Apple sells a DVI adapter I believe if it is not already included. a DVI to HDMI cable should work, sound you can funnel through line out / earphone out.</div><div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder" /></div><div>I think Monday next week Mr Jobs does a Keynote at the developer conference which means new product introduction. Since the MacBook and Macbook Pro Upgrades were released earlier they will for sure show something big.
