[QUOTE="snowfocus8, post: 284172"] I'm kinda surprised, I thought people would be pushing toward the iMac. But thanks for the tips. I'm glad to see the predicted problems with DVD playback on the shared-video RAM macmini aren't really a big deal. I'm definitely not rich...and doing this on the cheap. But, I've found 17" refurb iMacs with Core 2 Duo and the 7200 RPM HDs for about the same price as the upgraded 1 or 2GB RAM Core (1) Duo minis. So I wanted to check my options. Aesthetically, the mini is a cleaner option. But I didn't want to sacrifice the upgraded computing power just for better looks. I'm not pimping my apartment. Probably should wait till after christmas too? Any chance they'll upgrade the Minis to Core2 Duos? (like the recent MacBook change?) [/QUOTE]
