Sooo.... I'm thinking of buying a Mac Mini. Trouble is, as with any machine, going on discussion boards like this one and reading all the issues that people are having tends to make you think they are riddled with problems.
So my question is: what's the single worst problem you've encountered with your Mac Mini? I've heard of monitor compatibility issues, and constant unrequested shutdowns, and various other problems that many people have had with their Minis...
I'm hoping that if enough people answer I might get an idea of the problems that frequently occur with Minis... or whether generally they are reliable little boxes.
Thanks.

Your premise is faulty. You will only read the same problems by the same people that posted them before. Only now, they'll be posted a 2nd time.
Why not peruse back 2-3 months and just read? Simply scan thread titles and read. That way you can find the information yourself without asking people to write the same posts a 2nd time. AND, you'll have learned a whole lot about mini's in the process.

Two (Intel) Mac Minis in my house, zero problems; great systems, BTW--especially the Core Duo.

I think you'll find here, most problems with the Intel Mini are encountered by owners upgrading the memory themselves, not seating the RAM and not reassembling correctly. The remainder are usually software problems. As said, it's one of their most problem-free models.

The problem with my Mac Mini is that it's still sitting in the Apple Store waiting for me to buy it! Seriously, the Mac Minis are great little machines.
