The NewerTech miniStack V2 is the must-have accessory for any Mac mini owner who is using their mini as a digital video recorder. The design nicely compliment’s the Mac mini, and does not take up much additional space nor add much additional noise to an entertainment center setting. The price is quite reasonable when you consider you are not only getting a large external hard drive, but also a USB and a FireWire hub, all wrapped up in a quiet, sleek package that nicely compliments your mini.
Price: $69.99 (no hard drive kit) up to $329.99 (750GB)
Pros: Beautiful Design, quiet operation, provides much needed storage and expansion lacking from the Mac mini
Cons: non significant
Price: $119.99 (no hard drive kit) up to $549.99 (1.0TB )
Pros: Provides extra storage and “high-end” ports, quiet operation
Cons: New features are not designed to work with the Mac mini, although it retains the same Mac mini styling as its predecessor; Offers 2 less FireWire 400 ports than the V2; Is more expensive due to the inclusion of the FW 800 and eSATA ports.
The V3 is a less clear choice. The hgher-end connection options seem geared for non-mini use, however the form factor remains the same as the V2.

During today’s Q3 financial conference call, Jobs and Co. painted a slightly more optimistic picture of iPhone sales than AT&T had alluded to yesterday. While still shy of the 700,000 some demented analysts had predicted, 275,000 was a far cry better then the 146,000 figure AT&T had thrown about and which […]
