Mac Mini 2011 + Snow Leopard

Hi all, long time no see!

Has anyone here successfully downgraded a 2011 Mac Mini to Snow Leopard? There are many threads at the Apple forums and other sites about this, the consensus being that it should be mostly possible because the 2011 Macbook Pros with Thunderbolt, Sandy Bridge CPUs, and newer graphics cards were originally released before Lion. In practice, though, I can't seem to get around the graphical bugginess that many are seeing. And yes, I've tried using a MBP 10.6x recovery disk and using a system clone, but both wind up with graphical defects.

However, since some folks claim to have it working 100% without graphical defects, I was wondering if anyone here had first-hand experience they could share.

If so, please let me know. Thanks!
