Don't forget that Apple has refurbished units for a bit cheaper as well.
Here is a dualie MacMini for $759 with 4GB RAM:

It depends on what you want, and how much your trying to spend. You can get
a 2012 mac mini, with 2 drives in it for a pretty good price. Now it
depends if you want them to be your standard HD, or you want SSD's. I know
for a fact you can get either one. 8GB of ram is plenty to handle fusion
and mountain lion for what you want to do. So answer the above questions,
and I will point you in the right direction. My email is

Subject: Mac mini ram and hd questions
I was certain that I had read somewhere that you could have two drives in a
mac Mini, 2012 model. But on the Apple site, the build to order options
don't allow for that. Am I nuts? Or is this a possible after market add on?
I know there aren't many of those. Also curious about peoples' experiences
with ram. I'm thinking of the 8 gb upgrade, although there is a 16-gb for
200 dollars more than the 8. I want to run Windows and Mac os, because I
still need MS Word and still use k1000. Hence the interest in two drives. I
don't do any real big deal processing things on the Mac or Windows, for that
matter. But if I had a vm running and email up and software speech and
scanning program etc, would the 8 gb suffice? I'd hate to buy an IMac,
because I don't need the display nor another keyboard nor a mouse, so it
just seems kind of wasteful; hence my interest in another mini. The one I
have now is a bit over 3 years old and still going strong, but it runs sl,
and I'm starting to have issues, like not being able to use the nightly
webkit builds anymore, and I suspect that the web issues are only going to
get worse, not better.
