    Here's something interesting: on the main Mac mini page, there is a little blurb on the right column titled "Perfect for Programmers". Are they trying to appeal to Windows/Linux programmers with a cheap-o machine to develop on (well obviously they are)?

    Hm...

    From £339 in the UK. Glad to see they haven't just swapped the $ for a £.

    I'm ordering one right now. My only real complaint about it is that the built-in video is a Radeon 9200 with only 32MB of RAM. 64MB of video RAM would have really made it much more useful (for me). But honestly it's still a great box and setup.

    I could see owning three or four of these just for testing various OS versions quickly and easily. That'll do until something like VMware exists for OS X, if ever.

    That was what I was thinking... they'd be perfect for testing.

    Now time to convince the family to get Mac's

    Well, as usual they do add up qiuck. For the 1.42GHz version with 512MB RAM, a SuperDrive, and the Bluetooth + AirPort Extreme add-ons, $903 US.
