Mid 2007 Mac Mini New SSD Mac OS X Install

In this video, I install Mac OS X 10.4 after an SSD install in a Mid 2007 Mac Mini 1.83Ghz. Note: I wasn’t able to get the Crucial SSD to work with this Mac Mini so I swapped it out for a Samsung EVO SSD using this same procedure. I also referred to this as a “Late 2007” Mac Mini in the video. That was incorrect. This Mac Mini also has a SATA1 interface, not SATA2.

Replacing AC Pipe Insulation

In this video, I replace the AC pipe insulation with some K-Flex 7/8″ insulation. I ordered from SupplyHouse because their price was similar to Amazon but their shipping was a lot faster. I have included links to both suppliers below.
