Mac mini 2014 review
The Mac mini is still an ideal digital hub and makes a great media Mac. I got one off a guy in craigslist and i have been very pleased with its performance. I am sure if you toss a screen on it you could use it for light desktop work.
The only truly limiting factor is the fact you can not upgrade the ram past the 4 gigs it comes with so keep that in mind when trolling around. I would not buy a new one i would however work at it and pick up a great copy used off eBay or CL. I hope that helps. I also had the issue of an iMac that bit the dust and wanted the server functionality with out the head.

My suggestion is to buy the HDD version. Later, if you want to upgrade it, buy a SSD elsewhere and install it yourself, it really makes a difference.
