I think the mini makes sense around $500. At $700+tax, spending $500 more on an iMac makes way more sense.
$500 it doesnt make sense even.
I can build one for less off of Newegg... You know what the bigger perk is though? The fact that I can run a more secure OS with more functionality on it: Linux.

I'm going to suggest you look not at the case section but at the mini/booksize subsection of Newegg's barebones computer selection. Several C2D systems by AOpen that are actually a hair lower total volume than the Mac Mini, even without getting into the Atom machines and the like. Not at all difficult to construct a more powerful machine of the same size, for less, all via NE. Though at that point you can go into looks, quality of the hardware, and so on. But a pretty paint job don't make it go faster
I took a look through that link, and seemed to find $300 cases with no processor, no hard drive, and no memory. Some have Atom processors, but those aren't comparable to the Core2Duo processors. Am I missing something? You might save a few bucks over the new $700 mini, but over the old mini, you'd probably have less computer for more money if you built your own.
Out of curiosity, and for science, I would like to see you do this. Going from the Mini-ITX cases on Newegg, I see nothing even remotely close to as small as the Mac Mini. I kind of doubt you could do this.
You would think they wold be coming out with a refresh around June right??
My guess is April. With an announcement perhaps as early as next week. Shipping late April or early May.
That's my guess based on what i've been reading.
