They don't say which issue of OS X it is, so it may be a pre "Leopard" orphan from the back of the warehouse. I'd be sure to ask.

If you mean a Tiger orphan, you'd probably be right. But, if it comes with Tiger that is a GOOD thing. There remains many issues with Leopard which have yet to be ironed out, I highly recommend sticking with Tiger until at least 10.5.3 comes out. That is a great deal for under $500, and would be perfect for a dedicated VO studio. I own one, but I use it for my Home Theater. It is very quiet and plenty capable for VO needs.

I've heard that about the latest OS on the mini. Didn't Apple just release an update to Leopard that addresses these issues?

I like the idea and "attitude" of the mini. However, I also like a more traditional case where I can exchange drives easily. Apple/Mac only offers an iMac with everything in the screen these days. The next step is the "pro" that starts at over 2 grand. Is there a Mac with a "traditional" case that's in the $1000 price range? (I have seen add ons from third party manufacturers that give some flexibility.
