I am going to be purchasing a Mac-Mini to use as the brains of my Home Theater system, and before I just go onto Apple website and purchase the most decked out Mac-Mini they offer, I wanted to know if anyone knew of a company that offers a pre-built HTPC-optimized Mac-Mini box with all the trimmings...

...and better yet, other than saving a bit of cash by purchasing the Mac-Mini RAM elsewhere and installing it myself, are there any other third-party upgrades that I should seriously consider before just buying the one that Apple offers?

Thanks!
 
If in the uk, micro anvika has what you are looking for. As for RAM, i would stick to apple unless you are confident disassembling a mini.
 
You know if you go to Apple online store you can configure it right? just change things that need changing then install plex when it arrives :D
 
Apple RAM has come down enough in price that I did not feel it was worth the trouble of ripping the case apart to install the RAM myself.

Yes, I know that you can of course configure a computer purchased from the apple store...I was asking because I know you can generally save money by buying components elsewhere, and you have more choices available such as an internal blu-ray drive for your mac-mini, such as this one...
