...was probably because you forgot to re-connect the 2-pin connector at the very front beneath the opening on the DVD drive the first time you closed it up. if this is the case, the fan will noisily spin at full tilt. Word to the wise.
I also busted TWO of those pins doing this same upgrade last night. So currently mine is going along with artic silver, and 2 pins across from each other...
I called the in-town mac resource. In typical Mac gesture, they offered to replace the motherboard, said that was the only way. This is why people don't like macs.
OSX 10.6 should run a little faster on these slow things.
On another note, I've had a Nintendo NES (yes, you read that right) that I have had for 2 years and is running about the same hardware - slot-loading dual-layer DVD burner, 2 GHz Core 2 Duo, 7200 RPM SATA drive, etc. If you are interested, here is the "how to" build your own version. I've had this thing much longer than this mac mini, which so far has been a disappointment (sorry mac lovers). Note that the original article used older hardware and was made in 2004. In 2006 the original VIA motherboard melted, so I upgraded to centrino/core 2 duo and added a case fan. http://zatch.brazoslink.net/Nintendo/NintendoPC.html
