Mac Mini and iMac Product Part Numbers? Available Tomorrow? [Updated]

Hardmac posts what it claims are the product numbers and rough descriptions of the iMac and Mac mini which are expected to be released tomorrow:

The new iMac models and their corresponding references:
- MB417: Entry level model
- MB418: "Mass market" model
- MB419: high-end model
- MB420: ultimate model
The entry level model should come with a 20" display, while the three other models will feature a 24" panel.

For the Mac mini, the references are the following:
- MB463: entry-level model
- MB464 high-end model

They cite a "reliable" source that has told them that both models will become available tomorrow. HardMac.com is the english counterpart to MacBidouille and is generally considered trustworthy.

Earlier today a photo of the Mac mini packaging was leaked and is increasingly looking to be legitimate.

Update: OneMoreThing.nl also "confirms" that the iMac and Mac mini will be released tomorrow and provides the following specs (translated by Sijmen):

Mac mini
- 5x USB
- 1x FireWire 800
- 1x mini DVI
- 1x Display poort
- Nvidia chipset (like the newest MacBook)
- starting at Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz
- 1 of 2 GB DDR3 memory (max 4 GB)
- 120 GB hard disk (max 320 GB)

- Intel Core 2 Duo (not a quad core): 2.66 Ghz, 2.93 Ghz and 3.06 Ghz

If it's on Hardmac now, it has to be real.

Available tomorrow?

So this'll be the pilot for the product upgrades at Apple's desire rather than hosting a big event? I know there's the March 24th, but I suspect that'll be for something really cool.

Well, the white MacBook was quietly updated, and quiet updates are nothing new I guess..
