[QUOTE="Sandwichman, post: 438296, member: 19059"] I just checked your specs on the Apple Store online. It looks like the only changes you've made to the stock config is the 2.33 processor versus the 2.16 one (which is +$250) and the extra VRAM on the video card (256 vs 128, which is +$75). If I am not missing anything, that brings the total to ~$1825, so close to $2000. If your boss won't get you the one you're asking for, I would suggest dropping the upgraded processor- the video card upgrade is cheap, so unless $75 is going to put the company out of business, it's not really worth it. What do you need the computer for? A dual-core processor at 2.16 GHz will still be a huge improvement over the Mini, surely? [/QUOTE]
