[quote name='munch']I would really like to give one of those new intel mac mini's a whirl. But I have no keyboard, mouse, or monitor. I think it was kind of shady how they raised the price too.[/quote]
Get a $10 set and yardsale the monitor. You could also go for a KVM switch. Might also keep a look out for people clearing out the G4 Minis at a discount or hop on ebay if you're into that sort of thing.
Raising the price kind of seems like a good idea. With the core duo, you can probably pack a lot of power in the little machine, which is kind of cool. $500 & $800 probably would've been better price points I think, so they could possibly sway someone wanting a cheap and simple computer to go for the apple instead of a dell.
