Good deal on a Mac Mini??
I have the option to buy a brand new Mac Mini 1.25ghz G4 with 512 RAM (most recent G4 model) for $350. Is it worth it? I know its slow compared to the new ones, but at 350 it seems like a steal for any mac.

Re: Good deal on a Mac Mini??
It's a fairly good deal, although consider that there is a 1.5 Core Solo mini for $519 in the refurb section which is very nice.
What are you gonna be using it for?

buy the core solo while you can still swap the cpu.....I just have this feeling V2 are going to have the chip soldered on the board.

Especially since it can be upgraded to a Merom CPU in the future.

Hmmm... I'd take it, but if you don't need a second mac, you'd be better off spending the $300 on RAM for the macbook.

I'd get it if I were you. Just having such a tiny computer capable of so much is awesome.
