Yeah i may go for a mac mini... will see if i can afford it. But it looks reliable and the installation is supposed to remain for a few years.

You could check second hand tho. Lots of People out there that rush out to buy the latest, not use it and end up selling it a couple months later.
Could potentially save you another 100 bucks or so. So might be Worth checking out.

if you're going the mac mini route, check the refurb section of the apple store. e.g.:

those intel NUC boxes look pretty interesting! tiny things. saw them when i was making my wife's hackintosh and considered one briefly before going with a standard mini itx case.
