For real, we have an ALDI in Germany too, and a couple of other supermarkets, and they all always have compititions with biggest PC's at the best prices, at least one special offer per month.
BTW, what do you guys think about these FANS

Mainly to vacuum the crud out of my case, but also handy for ciggie ash, crumbs and anything else that looks like it would be fun to suck up (ties, curtains, small animals)

I got last week my Mac Mini. Apple took nearly 7 weeks to ship it to me
I ordered the following configuration:
Mac Mini 1.42GHz
512 Ram
80 GB HDD
Superdrive (DVD±RW)
Bluetooth
AirPort Extreme (WLAN)
with DVI to video adapter, Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

Mind if I ask what you paid for that sucker?
€997 (= around AUD 1,670) for all incl. tax
@Philip, the Mac Mini uses a fanless design I take it, all passive heatsinks and the like ?!?
My only gripe with the basic specs was that it could have been a little more beefy. More basic RAM and a faster CPU, however, since you're packaging it with a more efficient OS you most likely didn't really need a faster CPU.
That being said I think all machines should come with a base of 512MB of RAM and at least an 80GB HD for storage

The Mac Mini has a fan but you barely hear it. The fan is only running loud in some heavy CPU load situations such as video rendering under iMovie HD. However, many PCs are much louder than this
Last week I installed a Gigabyte GeForce 6600 GT 128 MB. Works flawlessly under Slackware with the 7714 drivers. Couldn't figure out how to get it working under XP though, too much of a headache, so I said to hell with Windows...
Comp upgrade time. I order some stuff from ZipZoomFly yesterday and I can't way for my new toys.
