Last AD I saw for the mini it was on sale at Best Buy for like 499? I looked at the specs they had listed, which really wasnt that impressive... The thing I found the most absurd though is that you're paying like 500 bucks and don't get a monitor,keyboard,mouse, and from what I could tell from the add no wifi only ether...

they were just speedbumped not too long ago. stock 499 has no wifi but for 100 bucks you double the hd space, get wifi and blue tooth. worthy option. and keep in mind this is apples pricing, not Dells, your not gonna get a 200 machine, and a 50 dollar moniter/printer.

Keep in mind I hate Dells, and you can get a really decent machine for around the same price..

my view on all of this kinda stuff is skewed. i havent look at retail pricing in /years/. i build my own boxes, and because of my jobs i pay 6% over operating costs, plus taxes on any and all components. I have never bought a fully prebuilt system, and the last one i inherited was a 200 mhz machine, roughly.
