What were you wanting a Mac Mini case for? Are you going to operate on your new PC?

Unless the fact that your car has four tires means that Toyotas only have three.

It was offered in the context of being a selling factor.

BlueTooth adapters are about $30CDN these days so I don't see it as a big selling point in computers...

It is a selling factor. I'd rather have it built-in, than have to worry about getting a separate product that I have to plug into my computer.

The iMac offers me almost everything I want, at a price substantially lower than a Windows-based equivalent.

You can get a much more powerful PC at the same price or less...

The cheapest iMac is $1300 (17", 1.8GHz G5, 512MB RAM (DDR400), Radeon 9600)

A 17" 2.8GHz P4, 512MB RAM (DDR2 533), Radeon X600 Dell is $1089.

The iMac G5s have a bit of a reliability problem also, the G5 isn't a cool chip...and the chip is very close to the LCD. A no-no.

Why the hell would you need an all-in-one? I honestly cannot fathom the point, unless you lived in a 2 foot square room (and from the pictures you've posted, your room is huge). And even then, I'd think a desktop replacement laptop is a better idea.

All-in-Ones are entirely too restrictive and have less of a life due to heat issues, and provide virtually no upgrade path, and aren't very cost effective...

If not an all-in-one, I'd want something closer to the Mac Mini than anything else.

The Dell I was mentioning above was the 5100C.

It's not MacMini sized, but it's not woefully underpowered either and quite a bit smaller than a regular tower.



Starts at $899

In this case, size does matter, and I'm not looking to get another tower. If not an iMac-esque PC, I'd get a notebook - something I'm not keen on.
