It's not a minitower (it's a full-sized tower), but I'm partial to the 
Quadra 950 I hauled home from the computer-recycling boneyard at the 
town dump. Video's not supported, so you have to run headless, but 
works like a champ except for the woeful disk performance of NetBSD on 
the 68K Macs. Too bad, because for a Mac the Q950 has pretty good SCSI 
hardware, a hefty power supply, and room for five internal disks plus 
CD-ROM and floppy.

BTW, does the Q950 SCSI hardware fall under the Quadra-AV SCSI DMA 
umbrella, or is a different driver required for it? If it is a 
different SCSI driver, is anyone working on one?
