    An important thing you forgot...

    ...that makes the Mac look even better. If you add some of features you find on your "low end" Mac Mini, like Firewire, Bluetooth and Airport, then I think you'll find the Mac actually is cheaper, esp. when you now consider how much they've upped the RAM more recently. hard-drive sizes are still smaller.

    Mac's are cheaper when you compare on a feature by feature basis. It's just that most neglect to do this. This is particularly evident on the Mac Pro line where in a feature-for-feature comparison Macs are sometime thousands of dollars cheaper than their PeeCee counterparts. There are some excellent articles on this on Macworld and other places.
