Sweet - sounds like the perfect HTPC then - cute looking and customisable.

I think an awful lot of people will be awaiting the first 'dissection' ;)

The PSU looks to be a white 'brick' around half the size of the mini
itself,
so I guess it's going to be quiet even if it's not if not fanless

>Use it?
>I just want to look at it!

LOL, nice one rob - u fashion junkie ;)

They DO indeed look tempting, and are pretty much at impulse buy pricing
BUT: Add in the extra memory and you probably want the
bluetooth support,
and the airport is cool etc etc and it'll probabyl cost u a
small fortune.
Not allowing users to upgrade memory is taking the mick - I guess us PC
users have been spolied for years in that respect.

Also, I wonder how quiet it is as a HTPC?

OTOH, if all you're going to do is LOOK at it, then who cares? ;)

Cheers,
