    I recently got Mac mini thru Microcenter deal for $399. It is previous generation Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz Mac mini with 1GB RAM + 120GB HDD + Superdirve. It comes with iLife 08. I'm thinking of buying Mac Box set to get ilife 09 + iWork09 (figured this would be cheaper than getting them separate). Does anyone know what comes inside box ? I already have 10.5.6 installed on Mini so dont need that. Will I be able to sell OS X 10.5.6 from Mac Box set and reduce my cost or all comes on one disc and within one package instead of 3 separate boxes withing one box.

    The box and it's insides are pretty simple. A quick google should give you a result of what's in the box. But it will be all the basic accessories.

    I think you'll only get a new box the os x leopard. The Other boxes will remain the same.

    Actually, the Leopard disk comes in a package similar to the packages that iWork and iLife come in. ;) Take a look at the picture in my previous post, and you may get an idea of what program comes in what type of package. :)
