Alright, anyone here have any reviews of the Mac mini?

I’m looking to get a mac for a few reasons:

1. I’ve never used one for more than 15 minutes (using garageband at Frys)
2. I love garageband

So I’m thinking for my needs (music production in gband) the mini is enough at $500-600.

I know it doesn’t come with a monitor but those I could get any monitor for when I shop around.

I leave for college in the Fall and my roommate and I are going to have a kickass room. We’ll have our own lab pretty much: his custom-pc, my tablet-pc, shuttle gaming xpc, and potential mac mini. Of course my 3 items would take up less than his monster tower.

So the question stands: what do you think of the mac mini?
