I guess if you're really set on an internal DVD drive here is a good chance to pick one of these up, but for everyone else, the extra $30 spent on getting a vastly superior sandy bridge CPU vs. a very outdated C2D- the refurb looks like an awful value.

you save 130 not 30. personally the machine does not work for me. but 469 is 130 less then the 2011 price not 30.
My bad- I thought the base mini was 499 not 599.
Still though, even at $130 (or about 30% more) you're getting a computer that is at least twice as fast by going with the sandy bridge CPU. That's still a better price/performance value.
Unless you really need the built-in superdrive or need snow leopard, it still seems like a poor value given how outdated the C2D CPUs have become.

agreed. this is for someone that needs snow/dvd more then anything else. some do. some dj gear only works with snow. rane/serato sl2 is up 10.6.8 with no lion.

this cost me 2500 in sales. oh well
I actually did get Snow Leopard on my 2011 Mini; to do it I had to put my mini in Target Disk Mode and install and update to 10.6.8 using my iMac before the Mini would boot using SL
