[QUOTE="Village Idiot, post: 446270, member: 29446"] My opinion is that Mac Minis are horrible for the price. They're at the end of their life cycle and unless Apple either drops the price, upgrades the componenets, or brings out a computer to replace them, then they're not at all worth it. For the same price you can get a Dell that will blow the minis out of the water. If you want to go cheap apple, go iMac. They're a lot better value for the price. Also, call Apple. Just because they don't have anything advertised on their site doesn't mean that they don't do discounts for businesses and churches and such... Are you guys currently networked? If so, that may be a consideration...if not, then don't worry about that one. An iMac will last you as long as it takes for the parts to start failing, unless you're gaming or running some kind of secret software designed to unravel the hidden codes in the bible, you probably won't be doing anything too hardware intensive and the programs you would be using now can be used for ever... Same thing with a PC really. There's still businesses that use orignial pentium computers because that bit of software they started using 10 years ago is what they're still using today...I'm not saying there's a ton of them, but there's places out there that have people running them that aren't tech saavy and don't need anything more than what they've been using since they went into business... edit: I guess I type too slow...
