I have a core 2 duo Mac Mini - 2.33 Ghz processor (upgrade), 3 gigs of ram, 80 gig HD. It's been a nice box, but is starting to show it's age. Here is what I'm considering as a replacement.

• APEVIA (ASPIRE) X-QPACK-NW-BK/420 Black Computer Case
• GIGABYTE GA-G31M-ES2L Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
• MSI GeForce 9400 GT N94GT-MD512 Video Card
• Intel Core2 Duo E7500 2.93GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
• MSI GeForce 9400 GT N94GT-MD512 Video Card
• Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
• Patriot 2GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory (2x)
• Sony Optiarc DVD/CD Rewritable Drive Black SATA Model AD-7240S-0B

The whole setup is a little over $500 from Egghead.

My monitor supports DVI - I'm guessing the video card should work ok.

Questions:

• Will this setup work without too much trouble?
• Should I get a PCI ethernet card? I need Bonjour support for Jaadu on my iPhone. In fact, what about remote access in general. I currently use LogMeIn for remote control from my Windoze Notebook, and HTTPS (WebDav) to access files remotely.
• What about sound?
• Here is the crazy questions: Has anyone run VMware Fusion on a Hacintosh? I only need Windows for one app, and I do have a company supplied laptop for that, so it's not critical
• What about Rosetta? I do have an app that only runs on PowerPC chips.
• Will this support Snow Leopard?
• Can I use a quad core processor instead? What is the best in terms of price/performance
• How about a link to a good install :-)
• Will the Video Card fit in the box?

I know this is a lot of questions - I'm excited about the project, and want to make sure I get it right from the start.
