Also, I don't need a high-horsepower Mac---I just wanted a barebones machine that would run OS X, interact with my miniDV camcorder, do some light DVD work, and run Delicious Library. That's what I got. If I get a higher-horsepower Mac desktop---a strong possibility in 18-24 months---I'll move this downstairs and embed it into the bar, mounting an LCD on the wall next to the wet bar and putting a wireless keyboard and mouse with it. All the convenience of a laptop without the expense and wear-and-tear. The mini was perfect for me, a switcher who doesn't want to jump in with both feet. [I don't see TBE going back to being a Mac house anytime soon.] Well, for one, I bought a refurbished model, so I got a 1.42GHz/512MB/80GB machine for under $450.
