Does Anyone Have a New 2012 Ivy Bridge Mac Mini?

Hardware and software compatibility.
Bought my first mac ever, put in SSD + 16GB RAM ...... then realised I have £1500 of sw/hw I could use on XP, Vista, 7, SL but not ML.
Bummer
I'd gladly pay for a solution to get SL on Ivy Bridge MM.

(there's 100's, if not 1000's who really could do with this solution)
 
would like tonymacx86's opinion
 
I have a 2012 Mac Mini and a Snow Leopard image that I made a while back. I'll restore the image to a spare drive and test it. I'm currently using the Mac Mini for transferring some data which still has a day and a half left to copy. I'll test Snow Leopard immediately after that.
 
I forgot about this and only remembered when I was browsing this site today. :p

Anyway, I restored my Snow Leopard image to an external hard drive, booted it up on my MacBook Pro early 2011 and it worked fine. I'm actually using the Snow Leopard drive to post this. I then tried it on my 2012 Mac Mini and it only reached the grey Apple logo and got stuck. Didn't get any further than that. Seems like you have to make some changes to a standard Snow Leopard installation to get it to work on a 2012 Mac. :(
