I am ready to make the switch. I have cut off cable and am ready to buy a mac mini. I was planning on buying the 2.0 C2D base model add ram and hdd but now they offer the 2.26 as the base.

So my dilema is: After doing the math, if i get the base model 2.26 ad ram at $80 for an extra $120 i get larger hdd 4 gigs ram already installed and a faster 2.53 C2D.

THe question I have for a plex, eyetv, htpc is it worth it? I am going to go today to get it and I need advice.

thanks

For the purpose you're describing the base model will do absolutely fine.
