[Cube] Cube or Mini

[George Pepper]

I'll just chime in and say I really like the Mini that I got.  It's  
not upgradable like the Cube, but it's a more modern machine in many  
ways.  One thing you'll want to get with one is a MiniMate: It's a  
Firewire/USB external drive that also gives you both Firewire and USB  
hubs.  I think there is another similar device now that also comes as  
an enclosure only over at OWC.

Also note you'll need an ADC/DVI converter with the Mini for the  
earlier generation Apple monitors.
