For those about to rant, PC Verses Mac Mini

I decided to go to Dell and compare Apples, to well... Dells. Now keep in mind I only purchased the Mac Mini From Apple, where I purchased everything else from another vendor. I can still reduce the cost of the Apple, but I wanted to give the PC world a fair chance. Since Apple Initial cost is so low, TCO may really shock people.

Both systems have 512MB of RAM, 80GB hard drive, 17" CRT Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse (Apple's was Optical), And A Wireless Adapter.

Guess what folks... The difference between the two was less than a copy of Norton Antivirus which makes the initial startup cost of owning a Mac actually cheaper.

Dell clocks in at $697 without AV which adds $40
Mac Mini chimes in at $727

Some one care to meet these specs in a better deal, please feel free to bust my math. Keep in mind if you give me a deal that does not meet par, I will pretty much laugh you out of the forums.
