I’m nearly ready to buy my new Mac Mini! I’ve got the whole spec ironed out on the Apple store, and I’m just waiting for a couple of weeks to finalise the finances of the new buy. This is what I’m going for, with a total cost of £431.00. That’s including the educational discount which I should be able to apply.

• Basic Mac Mini, 1.25ghz
• 512mb RAM
• 80gb Hard Drive
• DVD-RW Superdrive
• Existing Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor

It’s going to be great. iLife 05′ looks superb as well. I can’t wait to get my photos into iPhoto, get a couple of books printed. I’m thinking of buying a Digital Video Camera before our holiday to Canada next year, and iMovie should be the perfect way to process any video collected.

I’m looking forward to being able to use ShapeShifter as well, some of the Mac Themes are superb.
