Once I graduate from college I would like to build my parents something similar to a mac mini. I'm a big fan of the case and size but I don't like the price point and OS X would probably be redundant. The key for the build is going to be simplicity, I want a super quite, small build that dual boots Chrome OS and Win7. I've seen some of the alternatives like ripple on Google search but I still have some questions:
One of the key points is noise, would you recommend an SSD?
I also want it to have a mid range graphics card, tri core AMD, what kind of quiet cooling solutions are available in that small of a package?(because I might like one for myself as a lanbox)
For the drive I like the trayless kind found in the MM.
I have had two builds in the past and some minor modding experience. This build will also probably happen some time in the more distant future(like 12-18 months from now).
Edit: Just to be clear, I like the look of the Mac Mini case and would like something similar in design or the exact mac mini case.
