Hey Guys and Gals
Recently ( in the last 6 months) I have bought 3 Mac Minis, these are the older ones 2009/10 which will run snow leopard/mountain lion/ Mavericks. I bought each one for approx £60.00 GB Pounds and 2 were free postage, as you may well know snow leopard has Boot Camp built in which is great as you can run Windows 7/8/ 10 on a separate partition along side the Mac op/sys. When i got my Mac Minis I changed the Processor and upped the ram and was able to get Mountain Lion on a Mac that supposedly does not support it and on another thread online I was able to get and use a piece of software that tricks the Mac allowing you to get it to run Mavericks by booting and installing it from a Thumb Drive.
So if you are thinking you need a mac for coding but don't have a lot of cash then Look on Ebay for the older type. Upgrading the processor to a 2.4 GHZ cost me less than £5.00 and the Ram was £8.00.

Nice thanks for the tip. I don't think it will be that cheap here to upgrade it though. Where did you buy the upgrades from? Were they from ebay too?

Hey
Yeah the Processor and ram were both bought off eBay, I am in the UK so maybe things here might be a bit cheaper than other countries.
