Keep an eye on the Apple refurb store. I ordered a 1.83 C2D with 1gb ram, 80 gb HD, airport, BT, and Leopard on Saturday for $499.

Something is very wrong with apple's refurb mini pricing. Compare the below prices (as of today on the refurb store) with $599 for a brand new 1.83 Ghz core 2 duo.
And while we're on the subject of $599 for a new 1.83 Ghz C2D mini (with an 80GB HD and 1GB RAM)... that seems like a much better deal than a $499 1.66 core duo (with 60GB/512MB).

It's a discount off of the MSRP when the item sold new. They don't consider what you can get for the same money today.

That's not really true. Look at the refurb (SR) macbook pro. Was $2500, now $1650. Why? Because the new (penryn) base model is $2000.
Or the 4-core 3.0 ghz mac pro (previous generation). Was $3849 (as configured), and is now $2299. You really think they would have cut the price by 41% if they weren't thinking about the fact that you can get a new 8-core for $2800?
The refurb store definitely takes the price of current models in to account. That's why there isn't the same flat % reduction off of the original MSRP on all refurbs.

Wow! A 1.6Ghz Celeron with 1 memory slot (1GB max). Absolutely no value there whatsoever.
Agreed. You can tell that when the discount is not listed as a %. But, when they show a percentage off, it's off the price the machine was new. The 1.66 mini prices are discounts off of MSRP when they were new.
