The Mac Mini

I wish I could come up with a good reason to buy one of these, aside from the fact that it's bright and shiny and makes my geek brain itch (in a good way).

It ships without a monitor, keyboard or mouse (but really what geek doesn't already have all that crap?) and costs $499, or less than one of the higher end iPods. (that said, I expected it to be less; $399 would have been perfect)

I'm just astounded at how small the thing is -- I mean, look at the pic: this thing is only slightly larger than the CD! Throw in a nice 14' flat screen, and you've got one sweet set-up. This is much, much cooler than the new iMac G5 , which still strikes me as the ugly duckling of the iMac line.
