1 2 3 4 The mini DVI port of the old Mac Mini's is not restricted to 1920x1200. Currently I am running my Dell SP2309W at it's native resolution of 2048x1152. I'm not sure why, but I am glad I can run it at that resolution. I have an original Mac Mini 1.42gHz ppc 1 gig ram ATI 9200 video. I have to lower the resolution to1280x720 to run movies in front row, but oh well. I still love my little box. I will be getting another one of the new ones to put next to my TV as a multimedia center. streaming from my Ready NAS.
I know that there is no official Mini DVI or Mini Display Port to HDMI Converter... but I found what looks like a third party product over at www.ezyhd.com.au so the dream of a Mac mini home theatre system still lives.
The good: The quickest and easiest way for you to switch from your Windows lifestyle to the world of Mac.
The bad: Mac mini Apple 24" display does NOT equal value... $1499 for a screen even with built in camera etc is NOT good value. It would be nicer if the option to upgrade RAM was as easy as it is for the new iMacs. The Mac mini is not tech geek friendly.

totally frustrated with windows crashing ang getting slower and slower...bought the 320gb version. What a cracker. forget the 30" monitor. I'm running a 42" hitachi hdmi screen and sound via the fibre optic jack to a home theatre system
The good: compact, extremely fast boot up, great home cinema set up. 13W of power, no fan to suck up the dust and root the motherboard. can run 3 documents side by side simultaneously. The sound the image quality - totally nuts. the blue tooth and wireless have great range. i'm in a 4 storey 100 square house and the whole house is accessible. you will not be disappointed. check uk prices. i got mine for %uFFFD500 which is about 1100 bucks
The bad: twice a DVD has refused to eject. (cheap thai knock offs). but killed the power and rebooted and out it came. Total pain the arse finding a supplier for the fibre optic cable. weird jack size. but the local apple store got one in a week. can only run 2 monitors. 5 would be nice!
