Retired Mac Mini

[LahryMusic]

Need some creative ideas. I have a old Mac Mini that I want to still use but not sure what I want to use it for. I don't need a media centre or anything like that, Just looking for some creative ideas.

I am using mine just for backups of media and such. I would use it for a media center but UI scaling keeps me from doing that. Mac OS ui does not work on large 1080p displays
