aaronadams.net - Mac mini: Why its future looks mediocre (the guy who featured in apple switch adds a couple of years ago). cube vs mini mac here, with a pic that makes the G4 Cube look massive (even though it's not). plus there's an article here that clears up some 'confusion' about the mac mini.
other things you might want to know: apparently it's got a laptop hard drive in it (the largest currently is 100gb, available for £124, so if that's not big enough, you'll have to connect up some firewire/usb external hard drives or use another machine like a pc or another mac with a large hard drive and share it), and it's only got stereo out (no 5.1 dolby surround sound like your current pc). apparently 256mb ram will make it a bit slower, apparently 30% slower than if you had 512mb ram.
I'd rather (and have) spent less money (£230) on a very good second hand laptop with a 15.7" 1280x1024 screen, a P3-800 cpu, a 20gb hard drive (I'll be using my webserver as a fileserver as well, with it's dvd-rw), a dvd-rom, lan, modem, 96mb ram (easily and cheaply upgradable), so that I can continue to use Windows, and all the apps I have for it.
