If you have a Mini and have a VESA compatible monitor, it's only $50 to build your own iMac.
Hmmm, an interesting idea...

Except, no improved GPU.
Except, the hard drive of the Mini is unlikely to be formatted to work well vertically.
Except the number of Firewire ports is limited, no iSight, and CPU is slower.
Except the line of sight to for the Front Row remote may be restricted.
Except the speakers on the Mini are lousy compared to the iMac.
Except the RAM is not upgradeable to 4 GB.
Except the hard drive can't be upgraded to 1 TB.

This is not an iMac.
