      What were you wanting a Mac Mini case for? Are you going to operate on your new PC?

        It was offered in the context of being a selling factor.

        BlueTooth adapters are about $30CDN these days so I don't see it as a big selling point in computers...

          It is a selling factor. I'd rather have it built-in, than have to worry about getting a separate product that I have to plug into my computer.

          The iMac offers me almost everything I want, at a price substantially lower than a Windows-based equivalent.

            You can get a much more powerful PC at the same price or less...

            The cheapest iMac is $1300 (17", 1.8GHz G5, 512MB RAM (DDR400), Radeon 9600)

            A 17" 2.8GHz P4, 512MB RAM (DDR2 533), Radeon X600 Dell is $1089.

            The iMac G5s have a bit of a reliability problem also, the G5 isn't a cool chip...and the chip is very close to the LCD. A no-no.

              Any all-in-one options, besides the 2k Sony?

                  Why the hell would you need an all-in-one? I honestly cannot fathom the point, unless you lived in a 2 foot square room (and from the pictures you've posted, your room is huge). And even then, I'd think a desktop replacement laptop is a better idea.

                  All-in-Ones are entirely too restrictive and have less of a life due to heat issues, and provide virtually no upgrade path, and aren't very cost effective...

                    If not an all-in-one, I'd want something closer to the Mac Mini than anything else.

                      The Dell I was mentioning above was the 5100C.

                      It's not MacMini sized, but it's not woefully underpowered either and quite a bit smaller than a regular tower.



                      Starts at $899

                        In this case, size does matter, and I'm not looking to get another tower. If not an iMac-esque PC, I'd get a notebook - something I'm not keen on.
