My problem is that I am also having finder busy forever problems with a monitor connected. They had me reformat my Mini about 7 times and run scans and send data. They also convinced me to take a day off work and have my wife drive an hour each way to the Apple store to show them there. Haven't heard from them in about a month. Last several messages to the tech folks regarding my case number trying to find out what the status is have been ignored.

My communications with Apple support was all by phone but I did get a phone acknoledgement that their engineers were able to reproduce this problem and indicated that they would try and address it some time. It was after that time and when I installed dropbox that I ran into my lag "busy" problems. So I gave up on that whole mess and ordered a cheap monitor through our IBM employee discount system for $70. Then I don't have to wait around forever to see if Apple really addresses these issues. I just hope I can cdonnect that monitor to the little addapter that comes with the Mini. Oh, I bought my Mini in January; dunno the actual date the unit was built.
