Here is a nice comparison with a complete micro-ATX system and the Mac Mini in price. They are both pretty comparable. The PC can even be made better by getting a cheaper 32 MB video card along with changing a few other things while adding a sound card with SPDIF.

I guess then the argument for opportunity cost would be exandability versus the advantage of having the MacOS with included software.
Any opinions????
I do wonder about differences in noise levels of the two systems though.
He quotes the MiniMac drive as being 7200RPM, which I simply do not believe.
I don't think it is a valid assumption that it will be 'faster' simply because it has a higher RPM. IIRC my (top of the range, at the time) powerbook came with a slower spinning hard drive than the lower models because it out performed them. The explaination was something to do with density...
Perhaps you already know about this and can explain further?
