i'm going use mac mini for:

- full hd video editing (imovie/finalcut; exclude special effects)
- full hd video playback without lag
- playing games (things new super mario bros, super mario galaxy 2...) via dolphin (see http://goo.gl/vvpov , http://goo.gl/j7apu details)

please assist me in deciding new mac mini. replies appreciated.


ps: i'll connecting dvi (1680*1050) display usually, hdmi (1920*1080) display, never thunderbolt (2560*1400) displays

 

the server model (mac mini 2.0ghz quad-core intel core i7) appears more appropriate in consideration of it.
