Any new mini owners who do design work??

-

hi all! ive quite been struggling decision i'm hoping find out there using mini i'd plan on using for.

design work. includes cs5. work on web files @ 50mb in conjunction dev software, itunes, browsers etc. print design , digital painting , i'm pretty working on ps , illustrator on files maybe 200 500mb.

gaming pretty light. portal 2, starcraft 2 , half-life pretty it.

i'm planning on running win7 on through bootcamp , not parallels (not totally sold either way).

baiscially think it's down 3 options. if i'm going mini, seems biggest bang buck stick stock 799 , hdd.

option 1 stock 799 mini , slap either momentus xt or scorpio 7200 drive in it.

option 2 same model buy 2010 mini additional sata cable , put ssd boot drive in speed basic tasks.

option 3 stock 21.5 imac. think in debate between mini server imac wins , i'll use existing 24" monitor main screen. expensive option.

im hoping see if happens use theirs same thing can tell me if mini choice, or if need buck , spend dollars imac.

in advance!
 

the mac mini have been ideal needs until print/digital painting work. feel documents require filespace require more ram mini (or imac) allows, or relatively large ssd able handle massive amount of paging/scratch space monster files require.

i've worked illustrator cs5 files vectors large 60"x60" @ 300dpi on 2010 i7 mbp w/ 8gb, , avoid doing kind of work again, since pretty rendered application useless on long periods of time (and depleted ~100gb of hard drive space @ times). doubt 2010 mini better job @ handing same task.
