I've got a new little friend!
 awwwwww isn't he adorable? 1.83ghz Core Duo, half a gig of ram, 80gig hdd. I'm well impressed with how quick it is for its size, and once I get a gig of ram in it it'll probably fly along, bless its little cotton Maccy socks. OS X has gotten a lot nicer in the two years since I quit my last Mac Operator job, and I loved it then. Great stuff, and the remote is a very very nice touch. I'm in love with this thing. I had a good reason to buy it too, I'm swatting up and re-acquainting myself with Mac OS and Photoshop and Quark etc, because my hunt for money has got me seriously considering stepping back in to Mac work, only in London this time. The most impressive thing about it, I think, is the fact that my external HDD is both bigger AND louder than it!

If the DVD slot isn't enough for comparison size-wise, that remote isn't even as big as an iPod Nano... it's about a 3/4 of the size of one, if that.

Quite fancied buying one myself a while ago, but can't really give a good reason for needing it, lol

If I had any way of getting pictures off my phone I'd show you pictures I took of a pc that was pretty much no wider than a standard mouse. I'd never seen a pc so small in my entire life!

We have a Mac Mini at work. If you don't need the processing power of the iMac and already have a screen then it's definitely the sensible solution. My only bugbear is that it only has two USB ports, which you're likely to use up straight away with the mouse and keyboard unless you create an alternative solution.
Having never used a Mac until last week we had two days of training on how the basics work so we can support them at the university. I'm now saving for a Macbook Pro!

We have these tiny PC's actually strapped to the back of 15" TFT's for use in the factory. Depth aside it's not much bigger than a postit.
I'm not a Mac man, but even I know that Apple did a great job with the Mac Mini.
