I ordered a 2006 Mac Mini off of eBay expecting to get, well, a 2006 Mac Mini. Instead I got a 2007 Mac Mini that likely runs faster, but hotter, and doesn't even have the historical significance of being the first Intel Mac Mini. Oh well, it basically does everything I would've wanted the 2006 to do so I'm keeping it.
This video was originally supposed to be only 10 to 15 minutes, but instead, I accidentally turned it into a full 90-minute Druaga1-inspired special. Hope you enjoy the extended viewing time and my late-night descent into madness.

What I do in this video:
-Set up Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6)
-Disassemble the computer
-Test some hard drives to decide which drive to use
-Replace the computer's hard drive...after much trial and error
-Install Windows XP through Boot Camp
-Run a simple game under Windows.

Shoutout to Devin and Caleb.
