Mac mini (Late 2005) Processor Heatsink

I’ve used Mac mini’s a lot in my business and personal life. It’s great to be able to put such a small Mac wherever you want it and they rarely if ever have any problems.
In fact the only problem I’ve ever had with them is that they can end up getting a bit dirty especially if one has pets such as cats or dogs around.
When this 1.33GHz model tarted having some stability issues I disassembled it and cleaned it. The heat sink was almost completely blocked by a combination of hair and dust that fell away during disassembly.

Recently acquired this iMac is in perfect working order with the exception of some very severe burn in on the CRT, thankfully I just happen to have a spare CRT in waiting.

I know this is a bit dated now, well only by a decade and a half, but I’m practicing my photography and my Photoshop skills. I’ve got a lot of old CPU’s and the bunny suit guy was bored sitting on top of my iMac so I thought I would put him to good use.
