I have been an omni-platform user, Windows, OS X and Linux user for some time now. I love different things about each platform and loathe just as much as I like about all three. The release of the Mac Mini at MacWorld really made me wonder if Apple made good move in jumping into the low range market. I decided the best way to see was to compare the Mini to my primary box, a similar system in specifications and price.

Wow, a comparison that did not completely ignore case size. The DIY computer is still bigger, but thsi guy at least made an effort to build a resonably sized machine compared to other people. This makes so much more sense than the other comparisions out there that pit the mini against a tower cased Dell or DIY machine.
For me the attraction to the mini is because of size and price in that order. If Dell had a computer the size of the mini I would care, but as it stands now I would not consider buying a PC bigger than a shuttle case. Since 2002 PCs have been fast enough for me, now I want my desk back. It is the same reason I do not consider CRTs, sure you can get one that is cheaper and can do better resolutions than an LCD but who cares. The LCD performs good enough for me and comes in a reasonably sized package.
