Even though it’s not that small anymore, it must be the nicest setup I’ve ever seen.

um, not so much. not until the Mini has an extra USB and FW port each. i have an MP3 interface already, it has a 12” screen and a full control panel, i call it iBook. wink all in all, not a bad idea to have Mini complimentary speakersv and such, but all that stuff stacked up seems pretty unneeded. just my 2 cents.

Or hook it up to your television and call it your media center.

Nice, but now it is not mini, it is now just a mac.

That’s just weird. But not as weird as all of the “first-year” design jobs that float around when there are Apple rumours.

No, no it’s not, it’s secretly a media centre. Everyone’s thinking about it, the Mini hasn’t been touted or setup as one, but there are plenty of fantasies about it!

okay, if it were meant to be a media center isnt it supposed to have a 5.1 audio output or optical audio output?

If it has optical it’s getting close to the G5.
