[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1538956, member: 56379"] I knew EXACTLY what you meant.:) Run the numbers. If you purchased the $799 Mac-Mini + 16gig ram at Apples price + the fusion drive upgrade...that would cost more than a lower end 21.5" iMac (which there was a refurbished model there last night for $1099). If you bought the iMac...and thought of it like a Mac-Mini...you would simply be plugging that ASUS MX299Q Monitor into it...and you would be getting the iMac display as a bonus. Plus the iMac has dedicated graphics hardware (which the Mac-Mini doesn't). Of course if your budget allows...you could get a better iMac. Like I mentioned earlier. If you upgrade a Mac-Mini too much...then you might as well get an iMac...since you get more "bang for the buck"! - Nick [/QUOTE]
