Next month I will be getting a new (Or refurbished) Intel iMac and I'm so excited!  I currently have a Mac Mini and a Hp Computer. I'll be giving away (to family members) or selling (to anyone) both computers. I will definately miss my HP computer though. Most likely my mom will be getting it.
I'm so dissappointed that Adobe products don't work with Intel iMac and that we have to wait until 2007 to upgrade to CS3. Thank goodness for Bootcamp. I saw a MacBook Pro running Windows XP at CompUSA and it was one of the most strangest yet coolest things I've ever seen. 
I'll be ordering the iMac from Apple most likely. But I heard they take too long to ship? Is that true? If so it's off to Macmall.com

Awesome! Congrats, you'll definitely enjoy. Personally though, if you can, I'd recommend keeping your Mini. I regret selling mine. You can use it as a server (host music, files, etc for your entire home network), use it as an external drive (another 80 gigs is always nice ), run those PPC apps your iMac won't (VERY annoying to have a PPC app that won't run under Rosetta), etc, etc.
Right on though! Have fun with it

Adobe Creative Suite 2 will work on an Intel iMac using Rosetta. Not as fast as native performance, but it should be close to your Mac mini until the Universal Binary is released.

Does CS1 work OK do you know? I assume there's no reason why it shoudn't work.

CS 1 works fine. For photo editing it's perfectly usable but for any fine brush work or any sort of precise freehand stuff, your gonna wanna use windows until CS 3 is released. It lags a bit, really messes up your lines. VERY annoying 
I believe to use your Mini as an external you just need a firewire cable to connect it to your iMac. I haven't messed around with firewire much, except for recording and using target disk mode, but I believe anything you might need to set this up is found, relatively easy, inside OS X
