One question: can you power on the Mac Mini with your Harmony remote?
Edit: I do mean power on, not wake from sleep![]()
As far as I know, you cannot

27" display is alone +1000$. Then add 300$ CPU (i7), mobo, RAM, GPU, PSU, case, speakers, KB, mouse, Windows..... You are already hitting 2000$. Windows 7 is still Windows, with all it's pros and cons. Also, iMac is AIO while towers take a lot more space plus the cable hell. Design, customer service, power efficiency are all valid pros of Macs. You may not get the best performance for the buck you're paying but that's not all. Why should I buy BMW if Fiat drives me from place A to place B anyway?
Why on earth do you have to reply to every thread and say Macs suck and are bad value and you could buy this and this for the same money? We got your point already. This is Apple and Mac forum thus it's not a surprise that people are looking for Macs, not PCs. There is no challenger for iMac, especially for the 27" behemoth. If you don't like that people buy Macs over PCs, then find a another forum where more people agree with you.
Don't get me wrong, I build PCs for living but PC forums are elsewhere. This is Mac forum so live with it. You will find people recommending Macs because people ask advice about Macs, not about PCs. Even though you make valid point about PCs, you are targeting at wrong persons. Not all are after the best components and stuff, most people could do fine with PPC Mac. If I could now choose, I'd probably build a PC and buy a MacBook, for the same money I paid for my iMac. W7 is good, but I still find OS X being much better. Also, Mini vs full sizer tower ain't fair comparison either.
I take it from this that the only people who should respond to this thread are people who 'agree' that Apple are great and that criticism should be banned?
As I have said, I own and am happy to own an iPad and iPhone, they are both far from perfect but offer, IMO, the best value in the current range of Apple products. It is also the area of most focus for Apple and likely to see the best progression, I would strongly urge you to download the D8 podcast and listen to iCon speak. See if you can spot the truth from the lies....![]()
Customer Service - don't get me started on that, Apple UK are appalling.!
Power efficiency - maybe, but we are talking small amounts.
Windows is still windows? Well its not really, again you are falling for Apple marketing, which like most companies is actually lies! Win 7 is a great OS..
I use linux, win and osx on a regular basis and therefore feel my position is one of knowledge not ignorance, and that my POV can help people.
Plex is very popular and also very good
Thanks, I'll check that out.
Does anyone know if the new Mini has any issues with displaying Hulu fullscreen on a decent sized tv (~50") ove HDMI? We get alot of our programming from Hulu.
