I wasn't sure where deals were supposed to be posted, but I thought that deal was fairly notable. I think the complete Specs are:

Core Duo 1.66Ghz
512MB RAM(2x256)
60GB Hard Drive
Combo Drive

I think $500 is pretty expensive,

Not saying I am interested, but it's in my eyes pretty expensive,

Checked out at Mac2Sell.net, and it values your Mac Mini at $450

That's waaaay too expensive. If it was for the older 1.83 model, yeah, great deal. But 512MB? 60 GB HD? No super drive? $350 would be an OK deal. Not great, but OK. $500 is just 99 bucks off the retail price of the _old_ base model. Meh.

Less than a week ago this model was $600 at Apple... If you know of a better deal on a NIB mini, please post it instead of just trashing me for trying to help

Yea, I've seen G4 minis sell for $400. $500 is over priced but you aren't going to get a better deal on a NIB mini.
Good find! Thanks for the heads up!! I've been thinking about getting a mini and live close to Fry's. Must check it out!
