So I'm torn between getting the Mac Mini or iMac.
Mac Mini: Significantly cheaper (looking at base model right now) but with 5400RPM drive and Intel 3000 GPU. No keyboard/mouse/DVI adapter that I need to buy. I have a existing Samsung monitor that would be acceptable to use. Will also put in 8GB when I get it, and adding a second drive seems very easy to do.
iMac: Faster drive, integrated display, AMD 6750 dedicated GPU with 512MB memory - get everything within one unit. Biggest con here is the price differential between the Mac Mini.
I usually play on my Xbox or PS3, but I've been playing TF2/Portal on my antiquated rig recently (I'm currently running a 8600 GTS). I'm wondering, for someone that doesn't play that much, would the Intel 3000 be acceptable? I'm looking at over a $450 dollar price difference between these two models.
Is it worth saving this and just going for the Mac Mini?
