   A mate of mine works at a leading electronics/computer store and said they’re likely to cost around NZ$1k and NZ$1.5k for the 1.4.

   I’ve been toying with getting a set-top machine for a while I just couldn’t decide which route to take; either a modded XBox, or a tivo (or clone) i guess now there is only one option…and thats the mac!

   Thank you for your email.

   We are currently working through pricing and finalising a few minor details. We should hopefully have the Mac mini (and the other new products) available to pre-order within the next few days. In regards to pricing and custom options, Apple Australia¹s online store http://www.apple.com.au/store will provide a good guide to the price we will likely be offering these new products (in AU $). In regards to an initial shipment date, we are currently awaiting further information, but at this stage we are unfortunately not expecting shipments until later in this quarter.

   I looked at the AU site and they are AU$799 and AU$949

   NZ$949 and NZ$1129. That’s expensive, and shipping is an extra $20. I think when it comes time to buy I’ll be getting someone in the US to get me one.

   I ordered a 1.42GHz from MagnumMac - $999+GST. The 1.25 should be about $850+GST.

   Prices from the Apple NZ store are slightly higher ($4-$5 or so, plus you pay shipping then).
