[QUOTE="Tanner31593, post: 556345, member: 26361"] I am in a smiliar boat as you are, I don't really see myself buying a mac mini, i think i could do better with my Dual 533 for less. Mine currently has Dual 533mhz 896 ram 40GB hd USB 2.0 card. Im buying a cheap samsung dvd burner off geeks.com for $19.99 plus shipping, it will fit me for what i need to do with it (burn home movies to dvd), and buying 2 more 512sticks for $49.99 each from the same store baggss stated, 160GB Hitachi hard drive for $55.99 (although only 128 will be seen unless i buy the $15 thing they have...) And i spent $15 on the USB card at wal-mart. I don't have very much options on CPU upgrades since they are WAY to expensive, which would be more than a mac mini. Too much for me. I don't really feel i need it anyway, this is blazing fast as it is and i haven't even done anything to it yet. I'm not upgrading my graphics, i don't play games or do anything demanding like that. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
