I think this Mini really needs an SSD. The 5400 rpm drive just can't hang - I'm getting more beachballs in Safari than I ever have. It's either the drive or Lion, I guess.
Apple's upgrade cycles get pretty easy to predict sometimes, don't they?

 Odd. My 30" is still in warranty until Thanksgiving or so, since it was given to me as a replacement for a 30" I had which Apple did not properly fix.

They don't consider the hard drive a user replaceable part. Just don't mess anything up though and they won't know you replaced it. Keep in mind it's best to take the SSD out if you ever bring in the iMac for service.
That's weird, I had a Genius directly tell me that the HDD in MacBook Pros is considered a user replaceable part. Might be different for iMacs though.

I own a 2010 15" MBP. Will a MINI DP to DVI adapter work ok for driving a Dell U2711 at native res?
Pretty sure you will need an active converter as opposed to the passive one. The one Apple makes is total poo poo, I use this Accell one which I've had no problems with so far.

Does anyone have recommendations for a 1920x1200 panel that would be compatible with my mid-2010 15" matte MBP?

In my fantasy world of Mac upgrades, the next revision will add the high-res 13" screen from the Air to the Pro, and the 15" Pro gets a 1920x1080 screen.

:pray:
It would be 1920x1200, rather, as 1920x1080 is 16:9, whereas the MBPs are 16:10.
