>>Adding a larger harddisk and some RAM doubles the price of the unit.


I just configured one on Apple's store with 512 RAM and an 80GB processor (double the RAM, double the hard drive) and it pushed it up to $674.


(499 *2) - 324 = 674


Hardly double.

    configured one with 1024MB and an 80GB harddisk and it pushed the price to well over a thousand Euro.

      Oh, no - you can't do that. That's misleading.

      1 x 1GB RAM module is not the same price as 2 x 512MB RAM modules. I made that mistake pricing out an iMac with 2GB of RAM and couldn't figure out where the extra £600 came from.

      On the other hand, if I'm not mistaken, the Mini only has one RAM slot. As a result, RAM is more expensive: you don't add RAM, you *replace* RAM; and big modules are more expensive than small modules.
