Mac Mini Photos and Details
With shipment of Mac Mini's the first Mini's have started arriving.
One photo gallery was posted detailing the opening of the Mac Mini from the shipment box. [removed]
Smash's World posted a short MPEG4 video (Quicktime) of the (safe) disassembly of the Mac Mini.
Meanwhile, Appleinsider posts some additional details about the Mini. Most tantalizing is the follow blurb:
At this point, this remains pure speculation... (and some reader comments claim that this is simply unlikely, with extra pins not likely to be used for anything other than power).
Additional Notes:
- Ships with iLife '05
- iPhoto '05 book/photo ordering support not yet available (later this month)

Finally, sources note that the mini's non-standard power connector contains too many leads to serve solely as a power source, and could provide hints of upcoming add-ons...

Now, I haven't seen one in person yet (Saturday...), but would it be possible that all those different pins in the power connector are to provide direct-voltage to the different components without stepping down or up (2.5, 3.3, 5V, etc)?

Got mine!
My first Apple order to be shipped early in about 3 years! They might make it as a computer company after all!
Good job Apple!

May be worth noting that while it ships with iLife '05 in the box, iLife '04 is pre-installed.

Looks nice. I have 2 die-hard PC using friends who have been asking me a load of questions about the Mac mini and OS X in the past week. They're both just waiting a few weeks to see how first users' impressions turn out before committing to the purchase. No doubt this picture series will be but one of many as Mac minis start turning up in large numbers.

Mine came via fedex today - I used free shipping.
It's amazing. iLife 05 is incredible, the upgrades to iphoto and idvd are worth the money alone, (I'm not the biggest gb/imovie fan, so i can't comment that much on it).
The harddrive is noticeably slow, but everything else is awesome. Fast, beautiful. The mini itself is just a perfect work of engineering, except for cables. I've already used up all the ports.. it's a mess back there. *sigh*. I guess that's the reason for an iMac.

What options might there be? I heard someone the other day telling me about getting internet over power lines (instead of cable or phone lines). Could this be to receive internet over the power?
