I have not actually gotten the machine yet, but one of my good friends from huntsville has a mac mini and I asked him if he would sell it to me I was thinking maybe he'd take 80 for it when I asked about the machine he said he would give it to me. I insisted apon giving him something for it and we settled on 30bucks. I have always wanted a mini I'm not sure of the specs, but regardless I can finally have one! I also don't have any ppc machines sans the b&w g3 tower I have. My main problem with the powermacs is the size of them and sure they are beefier spec wise, but I can't really complain about 30 dollar g4 mini
