[Maritime Q-Scout]

I desire a desktop (I started a thread a few months back but with Christmas, and car troubles, I haven't got around to getting a new computer).

I've recently started using a few Macs and really like the. (Dad picked up an Air the other week).

What are people's thoughts on the mini? How about refurbished? Is there somewhere besides the Apple store to look? (Keeping in mind I'm not local)

Toying with the idea, but want some input.
