How soon do you think it'll be before the Mini's ship with Tiger? I just bought myself a new 19" monitor and I'm still in the "it's ok to spend crazy amounts of money" mentality. I think I'm going to get the cheaper one - it's not that much slower and I don't really need the 80gigs of space (it'd be a different story if I did video, but I don't). I will upgrade to 512mb and get the WiFi/Bluetooth so that ups the price to about $675. Mike: as a long time mac-guy, you see anything I should do different? Is that extra .17ghz really worth the $100?

First off the Minis should be shipping with Tiger as soon at Friday (When Tiger is officially released.).
That all looks good to me. As far as the $100 bucks for a .17 speed jump, I'm with you, as I don't see the value. If someone is really looking to get more processor speed, step up to the G5, but if you ask me, the $100 extra bucks would be more well spent adding a Superdrive to the mini instead.

Well, to be fair it's $100 for .17Ghz + 40Gig of Harddrive. I guess I'll be ordering my Mini sometime tomorrow.

True. I forgot about that. I think I'd still go with a superdrive though if it was me.
