a DVI-to-VGA is included. There's also a DVI-to-SVideo and Composite adapter for hooking it to your TV

Mmm correct me if I am wrong, but the monitor port is DVI....so it looks like its not going to be any old monitor or unless I am very wrong.

Shipping in Aust from the 29th. I've always wanted to buy a mac. The O/S is awesome, and the form factor will look great next to my PS2 and TV.

Its only a matter of time, before Apple finally destroy Microsoft.
Their technology is better, less buggy more user friendly, the software is written for the machines rather than the other way around! As previously mentioned-no viruses, malware, adware, etc
People are just scared of switching from the ever popular MS!

I'm not scared but previously it was more than I wanted to pay for a 'trial' but at this price, I was already talking to JoolsG4 earlier today, its affordable to give it a go and try it out so I'll be getting one!

Not the prettiest box in the world, but you could always hide it!

To give you an idea of just how small the Mac mini is, here's a picture of it actually INSIDE a G4 Cube!
BTW, for anyone seriously considering buying one of these, I would definately, and strongly recommend buying it with at least an extra 256MB of RAM. And it needs to be pre-installed by Apple. To get the most out of Mac OS X I would say 512MB RAM is needed. The more the better, and Apple have been a bit stingy!
