I was looking at these a while back, and they're only real advantage is the size. They aren't very fast and are supposed to be a bugger to
upgrade to make it worth using. Ended up buying a g5. Does everything I need it to and much more. Also only cost £600 from ebay.

I have had 2 of these little baby's and i took both of them back. I found that they did not do anything much better than windows and they are
not good for games plus there are very few games you can get for it compared to PC.
They are however small, quiet and well screwed together, a good introduction to Macs.
If you do get one make sure you get at least 1gig of Ram as the board shared ram with graphics which eats up quite allot.
They are very cool but unless you have a 'thing' for Mac's the i would (and have) stick with a PC.

cheers chaps. I found an online review, didnt realise how bare it came for the price. Size is still a temptation though.

If you are going to get a seperate screen stc then i'd recomend the iMac.
