Ok what's the best places to get mac minis from in the uk apart from ebay.  They seem to be going for £150 , would rather find a cheaper source if anyone knows one.

Will any G$ mac mini work with morphos, like the 1.25ghz version or do the older version have unsposrted hardware.  Is it only the 1.42 and the silent uopgrade ones that work?

good news .  How easy hard is it to upgrade slower models with a bett GPU, memory , CPU, hard drive.
 
The 1.42 and 1.5ght versions are going for nearly £200 on ebay at moment.  Would it be worth buying a 1.25ghz version and upgrading in future.
 
Anyone using the slower versions, will I notice the diffference, should I bite the bullett and just but the silent upgrade version ?

Thanks for the info.
 
So basically everything is part of the mainboard then ?
 
Think I will hold out then.  May as well get the best I can if I am going to bother.
 
Are wirelss and bluetooth in the pipeline for morphos ?
