[Coco] Mac mini

As some of you may know, Apple released (officially) their new $499 Mac 
mini today.  Firewire, USB, VGA, hard drive, wireless/bluetooth 
support, etc. in a TINY 2.9lb package.  It's the closest thing to a 
modern CoCo I've seen -- just tiny.  Plug up your existing keyboard, 
mouse (USB, else with an adpater) and monitor and go.  A $500 
Unix-based machine with a slick GUI.  Elegant.

The $500 PCs have always been ugly to me -- huge boxes, ugly plastic, 
etc. usually taking up more space than a CoCo setup!

I saw one in person today -- very impressive little machine.  (I have a 
20" iMac G5 at home, and a 2003 series PowerBook I am using right now.) 
  I just love the form factor.

Does anyone know of any other tiny and cheap machines (i.e. in the 
price range of a CoCo with disk drive -- $500) out there?
