Found a 2012 MacMini - i7 quad core 16GB RAM, 500GB HDD for $75 after shipping on ebay. Upgraded to 1TB SSD.
Interestingly enough I was actually trying to buy the late 2014 version and so when I received it I thought I had been scammed - but it turns out the post was accurate and apparently the 2014 i7 is only dual core, so - kinda stoked now.
LOL, i opened the package and looked at the back panel and i just said,
FIREWIRE?!
anyway i'm using this as a Bluebubbles server, as my daily computer is Linux, and really the Messages was the only thing that I really missed from Apple computers. All good now!
Gonna see how this fares when i need an iOS build for a Flutter app, and so i'm stoked to have those two additional cores
Curious if there's some online db/repo that keeps track of a list of users old macs and what versions they install, and some details about usage
