buying a mac "dillema" help !

ok i sold my pc today in order to buy a macmini i'de like to order today.

were is the best place to buy it ? i've been told not to order in the applestore as it would take longer to ship.

so i was thinking of buying at macmall.com it's eveen $3 cheapper

and as for keyboard mac mall has an wireless set for 19 bucks but its a pc keyboard and i'de really like a mac keyboard. I wanted builtin blurethoot but that would mean to order it at the apple store but getting an external bluethoot would be 20 bucks less.

what can i get with $570

i already have a 17'' lcd so all i need is the mac, KB, mouyse., and if possible speakers.

let em go have a lok @ macm all again i've been on the site for 2 days now trying to pick the right stuff.

oops forgot about ram well i hope i can last with 256 mb for a month or 2 bf i have to buy more

If you're a student/teacher, try for the education discount.

i think the apple store at apple.com or the local store near your area would be ok. it's too early for second hand mini macs so i don't think ebay would have any

I'd also recommend going for the apple store and taking advantage of the educational discount offered by them. My iMac G5 was procurred via apple.com and I have no complaints, I even called once to check on the order status and their customer service was amiable and informative (something which could lack at other retailers). I mean c'mon 3 dollars? might as well get it from the "source." Good luck on your imac mini, you'll love macs ;D *hasn't gone back on windows since*

if you order online, im almost positive they wont check for your edu- discount. ide go for the bluetooth built in and up the memory and u can save n get the wireless mouse and keyboard later on

how do you all know he's a student? is it because he can't spell or form a decent sentence?

but mubach rasies a great point: why **** around to save $3? go straight to apple, that's their business...
