I won a 1.25GHz mini on eBay last night and I am going to pick it up this afternoon. It doesn't come with the power adapter and it only has a 3 day warranty.
I am looking for someone in the area with a G4 mini that will let me come by and test out my mini for 5-10 minutes.
I will see if I can get any help at the Apple store today as well. I've tried looking for retailers that would sell the adapter and haven't found one.
Please help! :)

That's sold out. Anyways, I wants something before the 3 day warranty ends so I can return it if it doesn't work.
But thanks.

The guy was cool enough at the Genius bar to power up my out of warranty mini. It turns out it is faster than what the guy posted on eBay. It's actually a 1.42GHz, not the 1.25GHz as he thought.
Now, I don't know what to do with it. It'd make a nice HTPC if I maxed it out at 1GB of RAM and synced it through a network to my iTunes library. But I might have a second video card for my Pro on the way so the mini might not be necessary. I'd hate to sell it because I got such a great deal but I'd hate keeping it if I have no use.
ARG!!
