Well yes, laugh at me if you must but I'm considering getting a Mac Mini. The short story is that I'm likely going to be moving to my Dads house and taking my main rig with me. So, I'm going to need a computer for schoolwork, music, and surfing on the weekends (every other weekend actualy) when I'm at my moms.
The portability of the mac mini really caught my attention, its hard to imagine how small it is until you actualy see one. I could easily take it back over to my dads sometimes if I wanted to and the price is very reasonable. What do you think? Should I give it a go? I've been a fan of OSX for a long time, should I go for it?
On the other hand I have parts from my old computer (2500 barton) I could use to build a system with. I would still need to spend about 150.00 on a case, power supply, ram, and heatsink. If I sold those leftover parts and bought a refurb Mac Mini I would really only be spending 200.00 or so.
