Haha - that's so funny! What's even funnier is I've taken the mobo out of the Mac Mini coz the cooler noise was driving me nuts. I've currently stuck the board to the back of the monitor and put the Intel cooler back on - it's exponentially quieter and is controlled properly by the OS. I'll...

I had a similar though re: new minis. It'd be interesting if they used something like the NUC, with i5/i7 and HD5200 iGPU. Gigabyte are doing it with the Brix and Brix Pro - which look really awesome btw. But yeah, Apple TV size i7 mac would be difficult to ignore. I guess this is a topic for...
