I voted YES and I ordered mine last Sunday.

Here in the UK the expected ship status is always changing...

1-2 Weeks

3-4 Weeks

Ah well thats the Mac Mini for you.

I went for the 1.42, 80GB, 1GB, Superdrive and the wireless thingy. :laugh: It don't half' go up in price :(

i ended up speding around $1500 on my mac mini, i bought a new 17" monitor, a new wireless keyboard/mouse and a new set of speakers

now some people might wonder why i didnt just go for an imac 17".....well the cheapest (with 512mb of ram) came to around $2000 after tax and i dont have a seperate monitor. what i might do though is see how i like osx and maybe if i really like it i'll sell my mac mini to my parents and buy a dual g5

(all prices are in CND)

Damn, after seeing those piccies, I've gotta say..... I WANT ONE!! :yes:

Damn you Steve Jobs! Damn you! Why does your company have to come up with computers that are so desirable?

:laugh:

No WAY!!!!! i'm gonna stick with my new iMac G5 17 inch... im loving it.. its powerful and simply small... and wy to buy and apple monitor to connect the mac mini if i can buy a iMac and get all-in-one :p!

because not everyone wants a monitor stuck into a computer, i like to have my monitor SEPERATE from my computer. it also makes it much easier to bring somewhere.

How is it easier to bring a monitor + mac mini than just a iMac g5? :huh:

w00t!

Bought my Mac Mini off eBay from the USA! cost me ?345 shipped for the standard 1.42GHz spec one:DD

Ya know, Students in the UK with an appropriate NUS card can get the same model for only slightly more at --> ?359.55

Only approx ?15 difference but you get more peace of mind since you're dealing directly with apple and not a seller on eB:) :)

Anyway, anyone else from the London area of the UK been down to Regents Street over the weekend? I just wanna know if the new Apple Store ( http://www.apple.com/uk/retail/regentstreet/ ) that opened last Nov had any in stock yet. If they do then I might get on the train sometime this week and pick me one :) :)

here's my complete mac mini setup (alongside my dell):

ur setup looks great but i would suggest putting the OS on the firewire drive instead of the internal drive, it will be much faster :p

yeah, i did install OSX on the firewire drive, but i'm still torn about whether to use it that way. seems like it would be annoying to make sure the external drive is on every single time i use the mini. and then when i put it to sleep, i gotta turn the drive off...and then make sure it's on before waking.

I'm undecided...

I have this pc, and I have a mac (though ym mam has taken over that) but this looks mighty nice, and if its really quiet..oh my...sold nearly.

What about the rest of you?

Andd WHY DID THEY RIP OFF THE UK AGAIN AGHHHHHHHH

Well my Order Status says this beauty:

:(

585342796[/snapback]

Thats what mine says, but I rang them up and told them about it as I figured it was the enhanced warrenty thing. They said it should ship on the 28th Jan. I'll be ringing them then to find out :) Can't wait till March! No way man, no way!

I just put my order on the apple.ca site. I'm getting it in 3-4 weeks.... :(

Mac mini 1.42GHz

512Mb

80GB

AirPort Extreme

8X SuperDrive

Wired keyboard & mouse

I'm going to plug it on the VGA input of my NEC LCD 1920NX, in full 1280x1024 res.

So now I must wait....

    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
    • I wonder what that line really meant...
    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates.
