    yeah speed if your encoding video or playing games. For day to day computer use, the mac mini is beyond perfect.

    Plus the noise of pcs is horrid, my friend just recently built an athlon 64 rig with a nforce 3, and it is loud... so loud he had to get an even louder fan because it was running too hot. My PC is also very very loud, a P4 2.53ghz. My ibook on the otherhand, is dead silent which I love.

    Yeah, the software has no Hardware Acceleration atm, but OS X.4 is supposed to open up the hardware mpeg2 decoding via coreimage which would mean that HDTV would play perfectly fine on the 1.25ghz mini.
