im not sure if you can purchase the logic board seperatly but its my understanding that if you could, the price would not be that much different from a new mini.

Why not just order a base Mini and do the upgrades yourself?

to_tough_to_die has the right idea—as Apple parts are not much cheaper than buying a new machine.

Are you anticipating putting in a Core Duo 1.83/2.0/2.13? If so, strongly consider the heat issue—Mac Minis have very limited airflow.

Oops I seem to have made a mistake in my post. I do want the processor and motherboard just not the hard drive and maybe not the ram because I heard that apple charges alot more for ram from there store for some reason.
