Michael After a regular reader based in the Frankfurt area (name known to the editorial team) recently complained that I did not feature a "top product" in the last issue of the newsletter, I am quickly making up for it here. Recently, I got rid of the last two PC towers in our household and switched to Mac Minis, which practically don't need any space because you can drape them under the desk while the keyboard and monitor are on the desk.
Since the memory upgrade was too expensive for me to buy new, I bought cheap 32GB RAM sticks on Amazon and installed them myself. It was a hell of a fun to see the warranty of a newly bought computer go up in smoke! Additional disk space was also too expensive for me, so I bought cheap SSDs, plugged them in and secured them with a wire and two screws under the desk top. In Germany this would be called "Pfusch" ("botch"), but here in America it's quite normal: whatever works, as American say! By the way, the Mac Mini does have a built-in fan, but it's absolutely silent, even when the little all-rounder is pulling out all the stops when rendering videos. In my home office, you'll totally forget that a computer is running and it feels like being in a monastery. Top product!
