I'd buy a mini if it were possible to pop open the case and add memory myself. While I don't mind paying a little extra for Apple hardware, their memory prices are outrageous. $425 to upgrade to 1GB of RAM!? You can get a 1GB stick of Crucial DDR333 for just over $200. If you don't mind going with a no-name brand, 1GB can be had for as little as $150. 100% Apple Tax? I think not.

    why do you think Apple doesn't want you to open the thing?

    And beware, Apple has a tendency to use non-standard hardware so that stick from Crucial may not fit...

    After looking around a bit it looks like people are saying that it *is* pretty easy to get them open and doesn't void the warranty. Ok, so now I'll need to get one ;)
