The good news is the round black disk allows easy access to the ram. No need to remove screws. Much better than the older design where you would have to use a putty knife to open the case. That was a pain.
Got a tip for us?

Agreed. I think we can finally say goodbye toTV
The thing is, I keep seeing movies in iTunes that say, "Also available in HD on the Apple TV." So, for now, if you want to rent a movie in HD from iTunes, many (all?) are only available on the Apple TV.
The white macbook will be gone. it will be iPod Touch, iPad (this will replace either Macbook Air or Cheap Macbook), Macbook Pro Low end, Macbook Pro, iMac and Mac Pro.
A Multitouch keyboard is in the works and soon iOS will be blend to Mac OS X. Follow the dots, Apple will change in 5 years so drastically that your Apple products of today will be obsolete as the ATARI of today.
Something in common
So now it has the same H+V dimensions as the AirPort Extreme, iTV and Time Capsule. Each is 7.7" square which may be helpful when building out cabinets and automobile mods.
Correction: Time Capsule is actually 6.5" square. Other two are same dimensions.

The link they have for the server version, shows the other site taking the HD out without doing any deep surgery.

Mac mini + plex.should i say something else ?
Yes. You can start this what it is and how does it work, please.
Gotta love iFixit. I made some teardowns, and repair guides, and bought tools from them. My bro purchased a HD from them on Thursday, and got it Monday, even with the slowest shipping. Thats all the way from CA to MA.
Go to the link to the server version at the end for the HD removal.

they do not take out anything before they pop it out.

Now that I see that they made is WIDER and LONGER, it is no longer so impressive that they made it shorter. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the volume taken up by the new Mac Mini is greater than that of the old one. But regardless, it looks much nicer IMO.
Very tempting to get, but I want Blu-ray in my HTPC and Core i3/i5 processors first. Maybe the next update?
I have a feeling that Apple doesn't want to support Blu-ray because slot-loading Blu-ray drives are a rarity right now, if they even exist.

I swear at the rate his thin obsession is going, Steve Jobs will be selling computers laptops and telephones that are 600ft across, 400 ft long, and the selling point will be 'but it's only 0.004mm thin - amazingly thin'
Stop it Steve. Just stop it. There is more than 1 dimension to this world.

I nearly paid that much for the first 16GB iPhone. The Mac mini has much more power and can drive a larger display (but doesn't make phone calls).
Obviously every Apple product is not for everyone. The $999 Mac mini server with dual 500MB 7200 RPM hard drives is quite a value for a small enterprise.
really? oh man...
There are plenty guides and stuff on their site and even inside plex.I'll tell you 1 thing,it's not a super-easy-to-set-up first time.but once done,it's uber-mediacentre
It's a replacement for Front Row. You control it with the Remote. It has more features and is more configurable, and it plays various video formats like DivX, MKV etc without the need for codecs like Perian.
The new Mac-Mini looks amazing, but I'm disappointed to see thats its even more expensive now =/, Does Apple know what budget means?? I don't understand why we don't see an entry level mac for under $500.. $700USD is not affordable for what your getting.. If this thing was priced at $500 I would actually consider getting it..
It seems like you're missing the point. Yeah, it's more expensive, so does laptops versus desktops, or any SFF desktop versus their larger desktop counterpart. I mean it's like saying the $500 iPad is too expensive because you can get a $500 quad-core desktop.
