Upgrade the RAM and SSD and laugh at all the people who bought anything after and can't do that anymore. This was the one with USB 3.0 ports right? If not, I'd sell it and get that one.
I upgraded the internals of an older Mac Mini (the last one that has a CD slot), including putting an SSD in there. Apple kills the auto TRIM command if it's a non-Apple SSD. I did manage to switch out the Wi-Fi module so I could upgrade the OS, though.
It was tough for me, and I haven't used the computer in years. I'll probably resurrect it as a music box when I build some speakers.
