Very cool, iWant (Mac mini of course)

Oooh. I wonder how long this will take to be announced. I'm looking at building a new hack with modest specs, so a new Mac Mini would be pretty sweet instead if the price is ok.

The 9400M is pretty good. It's openGL scores are as good as my 7600GT, on a 2.4ghz Pentium Dual core. This in a Mac Mini is nice.

wow.....good news

/me desperately waiting for he new Mac Mini

This looks like it might make a nice future hack-mini if its cheap enough not sure about performance though ...

Looks cool but if the Mac-mini will be packed with features, I prefer the real deal

I have a macbook5,1, but I cannot find these strings there. Wtf?

Ditto. If these really debut at $499, they will be the new Media Center standard for Plex...my Media Center Hackintosh recipe is $500, so this would be a great (tiny) alternative!

I guess, all these are all nForce Macs?

Hello, I have joined to let you guys know that you are front page on macrumors, which is subsequently on the front page of Digg; expect Gizmodo, Engadget, and ArsTechnica to pick up on this quite shortly, I dropped the word with them

@ The OP: thanks, epic find, and enjoy being famous for a few days

[R3ap3R]

Bump; Add AppleInsider which is ALSO on the front page of Digg (you're on there twice).

interesting

shame nobody on Digg knows whats going on, most seem to think this is about graphics cards

Per my prediction: Add Engadget

Nice stretching of a MacBook

If they really shrink the Mini any further, the DVD-drive will be skipped. The slot in my Mini is almost never used, only for system installs, which could be fixed with Leopard on a USB drive.
