The Mac Mini Now Supports Dual Monitors
The Mac Mini is now capable of running dual monitors. This, to me, is huge. It’s a machine that comes in a decent price that developers are used to, while allowing us to keep our dignity and use our own monitors.
A few months ago, I bought a triplehead2go, and I ran 3 20 inch monitors. Then I got greedy, and decided to step it up to 2 26" screens (the LG W2600 to be exact). Unfortunately, the triplehead2go doesn’t support 2 monitors running at 1920x1200, and my MacBook pro certainly didn’t have dual video cards. The latest round of Mac Minis support dual monitors just fine.

If you were waiting on this like I was, well, buy one… like I did. And before you ask, yes, I did hook up an external 7200 RPM drive.
