Someone nearby is selling a pre-Intel McMini that was optioned up w/ 
1GB RAM and 80 GB HD.  I am thinking about picking it up just to have  
it running as a server all the time on the home network, so it can do  
transcoding for slim devices, etc, and hook mass storage drives  
into.  So, 2 Q's:

1  Am I correct that HDs hooked to it through USB is a more efficient  
network interface for file storage than the el cheapo NAS HD's?

2  What would be a fair price for a pre-Intel McMini, although it is  
optioned up?
