i just got a great (million dollar?) idea… why not sell, for like $600, a “Poor Man’s G5” kit… an LCD moniter (white, of course) with a mounter for a Mac Mini in the back?  8|

The problem lies in the math… Mac mini is 500, lowest price on lcd i’ve found is 202$, keyboard and mouse for like 15 bucks (cause of USB). Thats 717, and you make no profit.

How is a G4 a poor man’s G5? It’s like saying a Celeron is a poor man’s Pentium 4.
