ha! I'm glad I've bought my macs new so setup's been super-easy!

"screw" it...awesome. ;)

To be fair (to me ;), I'd have most of the same issues if I'd bought it new. No peripherals included.

Really, it's my stubbornness to go out and get the proper peripherals that's giving me problems. ;)

Mine came with a DVI->VGA dongle, but that was in ye olden PowerPC tymes when they included extra shit.

Yeah, I saw one of those mentioned in most of the eBay listings, but not this one. Not one mentioned on the box, either.

The box does mention iLife and a remote for Front Row, and I didn't get either of those. eBay sellers, man. I'll ask the guy if he's got them to send, but I'm not gonna hold my breath since they weren't listed in the auction.

As for mouse and keyboard, it's going pretty well. The mouse was slooooow at first, but I adjusted that.

Oh, and the other thing I remember about the mac mini was what a fucking nightmare it was to get a regular microsoft keyboard/mouse to work with it.
