    I now hate my eMac, it's too big so it's time to buy something else. Is the Mini decent for surfing the web, playing Warcraft III and will it run Leopard decently? I wish Apple would update them but I keep hearing they're going to be discontinued.

    The price to power ratio is way off on the mac mini. You can probably pick up a used one for pretty cheap, but the same could be said for the iMac(especially once those get updated to Santa Rosa). If you have an extra $200 or so then your best bet would be to get a used iMac, that'll do everything you need it to better than the mini(which to answer your question, yes it can play Warcraft III and run Leopard)

    Thanks, I wish Apple would replace the Mac Mini with a Mac Mid Tower. That would be sweet. :)
