The real pc is a tower and sits in to the side (most desks have a spot).

Since the tower isn't a pizza box like the mini, the DVD drive is still
within reach.

The Mac mini even fits in your desk drawer, Brian! Surely you're not
using THAT image as an example of good desk tidyness? That would have
cables running everywhere. Ick.

And again, how does the cables for that PC become more when connected
to a Mac mini placed in the same spot? Still no answer?


That's a great idea. Grab your mini, stick in a drawer. Then do some proc intesive work on it... well as proc intensive as you can with OS X. I believe putting iTunes on Shuffle will tax that toy piece of junk "computer" Let us know how long it takes for your desk to burst into flames. :)
