    The Mac Mini can also do HDMI. Yes, you need an adapter, but it's only like $10 from a third party. I have one hooked up to my home theatre right now. 5.1 Dolby surround sound from the optical out, HD through the Display Port, EyeTV HD tuner, HULU and Netflix, what else do you need?

    @dallasmay2: Dolby surround sound, are you sure? Optical Audio is ok, but it's maximum bitrate transfers only can do PCM audio. While HDMI and assuming ( a huge assumption nonetheless) this computer has the codecs and a good video and audio card, can do Dolby TrueHD Audio and DTS HD audio.

    @Jay Beezy: My receiver says Dolby when I'm listening to my Mac Mini. (by that i mean the LCD screen telling me what type of audio is being piped in. No the sticker on the exterior.)

    @dallasmay2: Does it say Dolby Pro Logic? Which is up-sampling done by your receiver, because if it isn't please tell me how you got that to work because I would love that.

    Is there a point to this other than being cute? That harddrive is going to die from heat. Well, at least you can connect two esata drives with their own cooling and perhaps get raid1.

    @badbob001: My Mac Mini is 2 years old, is turned on 24/7, and has had 0 hard drive issues to date.
    Most external enclosures that take 3.5" drives actually lack enough cooling to properly run 24/7 without failure.

    Even though I use to be a huge Dell fan and still love windows for most of what I do, I have to say, Michael Dell should be eating some pretty nasty crow by now since he had no tact or foresight in his comments about Apple. All I can say is suck it bitch...

    I'd buy a 14z today if I could get a 512gb graphics card in it. The 9400m is alright, but I just don't know that it's much of an improvement over my nvidia 128gb card, so I think I'm going with the Studio 15 instead. Anyone care to talk me out of it?

    My only question is its Hackintoshability. If it ends up having both adequate hardware and can be loaded with OS X with relative ease, then I'll add it to the list of non-Mac hardware that I buy.

    I'm guessing Ion/Atom with a pricetag in the $350-$450 range.

    What I want to know is why they put an HDMI AND VGA output on it. Rather than just HDMI w/ an adapter for VGA.

    @John Nahajski: you can always just upgrade with your own slot loading drive. They are only 70 bucks or so.

    But if a disk gets stuck or god forbid is breaks down on you... good luck with the fight to get your disc back

    @xblindx: Most modern video cards allow you to change the output type so that the 3.5mm plug becomes digital out... OR, they may just output digital via the HDMI connector. Maybe both!

    got my 10v running nicely with OS X. If anyone is interested in a mini 9 or a 10v I do have spares on hand (I have a tendency to order multiple units for some silly reason), so email me...discounteggroll@gmail... It will be worth your while =)

    Get the RunCore SSD, trust me.
    Spec this thing low on RAM and SSD and add your own to do with as you please.

    Mac OS X on 1GB RAM? Pass. For $400 (which is what it costs after upgrades), I can get a used Macbook 13.3" with a phat trackpad, full size keyboard, and a real Apple logo.

    @Derek Knight: OS X actually runs reasonably well on 1GB of RAM, at least a great deal better than Vista.
