I did my research on Mac mini. I must tell you it's pathetic to say the least. Here is a real world comparison between two deals. PC is a much better deal. My wife will surely agree with me after seeing these figures. You guys have been busy accusing me of trolling, but LOOK AT THESE FIGURES. You have no legs to stand.
Mac mini - $499.00
1.25GHz PowerPC G4
512MB SDRAM
32MB DDR video memory
40GB Ultra ATA hard drive
Combo drive (DVD/CD-RW)
Optional AirPort Extreme and Bluetooth
Built-in 56k Internal Modem
------------------------------------------------
Barebone PC - $413.87 (From http://www.ascendtech.us/)
Celeron D310 2.13Ghz (much faster)
512MB DDR RAM
64MB video RAM (twice the mini)
40GB HD
3 PCI slots for far more expandability (no PCI for the mini)
3D stereo sound card (6 channel output!!)
DVD Combo drive
Windows XP Professional ($149 less the above price if you already own a copy or get a cheap OEM copy!)

Sorry, but I don't think anyone's going to take your bait. Apples and oranges comparisons don't do anything but waste time.

I won't be surprised. "Apple and Orange comparison" is just a common cop-out, isn't it.

... and just to respond to the original post....
You forgot to add the free iDVD, iPhoto, iCal, & iMovie to the Mini.
And you forgot to add the cost of these apps to the MiniPc
