New Mac Mini Coming by End of February According to Belgian Retailer

Rule of thumb: if someone takes a photo of his own monitor instead of making a screenshot, purporting to have stumbled over some unannounced product, it's fake.

I would usually agree with that, however some people always use the wrong tool for the job. Photos saved as GIFs/PNGs, logos saved as JPEGs, spreadsheets done in Word/Pages, PowerPoint/Keynote presentations saved as plain PDF files, photos of computer displays instead of screenshots, the list is endless.

Same here, with my 2011 Mac Mini. Stuck in an SSD and 16gb of ram, and it is like a new machine compared to when I bought it.
Although I am a little jealous of the quad core cpu options now available on the Mac Mini. I sometimes will look at the quad core model and wonder if I should.

Same here. Popped in a 128GB SSD for the operating system, and kept the original 500GB hard drive in the second bay. Added 16GB RAM and the machine flies now.

Why purchase essentially a new monitor every 2-3 year when the CPU / GPU etc. becomes too restricting?

Fully agree. There's no need to change a monitor that frequently especially if it was an expensive investment.

And once I buy a new Mac Mini I can convert the old one to a very powerful Media Center, Server, or Home Hub.

Why wait so long?

I can't understand why they wait so long to refresh this. I'm about to build a custom PC instead of waiting for this.

went custom route

I was hoping to use the mac mini for a vmware esxi machine but i've gone the custom route now. I couldn't wait any longer (although I'm expecting something from Apple very very soon).
