SFF (Small Form Factor) computers are not as small as the Mac Mini however they are more expandable, must easier to open and allow you to configure exactly what you want. My wife loves the shoebox size computer I built for her.
The limitations on the Mac Mini; slow processors, expensive memory and slow hard drives can be remedied wihout spending any more money than if you ordered the upgrades from Apple. Same cost, better box. Reports have been coming in that if you have to reload OSX on the Mini, you cannot reload AppleWorks after the initial install.
Linux (and even XP) boxes based on the SFF are going to become more mainstream now people have opened their eyes to the Mac Mini.

Let's see - XBOX 360 with HD - $399.99 + HD-DVD add-on $299.00 = @698.9 9
What does the XBOX 360 cost after the HD-DVD is released? Will the PS3 cost more then?
