They all are. No way can you create a more powerful MacInstein for  
$499. Tiger and iLife '05 are $208. That makes the mini hardware  
$291. You cannot buy a used Mac that old and add a processor running  
1.25 GHz for less than $291.

Days of being clever with old gear are rapidly going by the wayside  
as Mac mini is about to get a refresh making original Mac minis worth  
about $299-$399 at most. That means the first generation Mac mini  
hardware will cost about $91 to $191 within a few weeks from now.

Don't waste your money on old Macs. It ain't worth the trouble any more.
