[QUOTE="Amen-Moses, post: 70562, member: 114"] I have 3 Macs and 4 PCs. From top to bottom: Twin G5 Power Mac OSX 10.3, twin SATA drives 17" Apple display. XP2200 maxed out on graphics & RAM 19" CRT (my Half Life 2 machine). XP2000 similarly apportioned with 17" CRT. Both with XP Pro. 17" G4 1Ghz iMac dome, maxed out RAM SuperDrive. OSX 10.2 eMac G4 1Ghz OSX 10.3, combi drive. 2 mini-ITX systems 600Mhz & 1Ghz, one running XP Home and one running Linux. I use them all for different things but even with all those options available I'm sitting here in front of the iMac by choice. (the G5 beast is upstairs and the beer fridge is downstairs, not a hard choice but still a choice ;)) I'm sat right next to my most powerful PC and yet I'm still using the iMac, why? Because it's just better for what I'm doing right now, if in ten minutes time I feel like a HL-2 slug fest then I'll rotate my chair 90 degrees and switch on use the PC, if I feel like another battle with Myst IV or a bit of fun building a new Roller coaster (quick plug for No-Limits here) I'll pop upstairs but for browsing the net or checking my email I choose the iMac. (I only say this because from the specs the Mac Mini should be far superior to my iMac so it should easily satisfy your needs) Amen-Moses [/QUOTE]
