Eeek.. I've been debating this for a month now.
I know the Customac is the smarter option. If I built one, it'd be the Budget ATX build. With a Core i7 3770 (non k version to save extra $30). It would be built into a LIAN LI A55B case. But, its not a Mac, and it doesn't chime at startup (I want the complete experience). The build would cost just under $780.
A Core i7 Mac Mini is $799. Then like an extra $70 er so for 8GB Ram. But its got the cool factor being as small as it is, and it chimes.
I currently have a Core 2 Duo in an ECS G31T-M I flashed to run Mountain Lion, and it works great for the most part. But then there are issues like it doesn't like to wake up from sleep.
So what do you guys think?
