By the same token IF this isn't real, I'll take a slice of humble pie, no problem. Highly doubt I'll need too though.You people who say or yell "fake" as if its a stone-cold fact tick me off to the Nth degree. When you end up w/ egg on your face, do you ever to own up to being wrong? No, you just sweep it under the carpet like you never made the statement. Then some of you even go: "I knew it was real all the time."
I can see a major marketing campaign focused on the Mini. Think about it, all the other macs are over $1,000, some WAY over. We are in a bit of a recession, or so I've heard.
So, Apple puts forth major ad campaign trumpeting the new improved, lower priced Mac Mini. Maybe apple even throws in a freebie, like built-in EyeTV, or a full copy of iWork, or a free year of mobileME.

Still nothing in Europethe old Mini is still on sale as of 08:30
I like how soooo many people called the OP a liar (basically). I would love for them to be proven wrong. Anyone remember when the new UI for the iPods came out? People were downright rude and obnoxious and the rumor ended up being dead on accurate.
edit: by OP I mean the person posting the original pics, not just the alleged packaging box. I'm not even sure if it's real or not, but I'm not slamming the person either way.
this took me 5 mins to do using M$ Paint brush, plus I could've also gone on the Apple website, took their iLife logo, NVIDIA chipset logo and WiFi logo, printed it and put on any box for that matter and used my 'Nokia 7210' to take a gey ass shot!
Enjoy, another mac mini fake!
Also, anyone who follows apple enough would know 1 simple fact, Apple never likes to cofuse its consumers with too many port or too many options. Can you imagine your parents trying to figure out which port to plug a monitor into with the 'fake' mac mini... I think not! If anything Apple would just use their new MiniDisplay Port and call it a day.
Plus, they would not be using the same design, they would use a unibody!
AND FYI for all people waiting for an update, it coming in June when WWDC is on. There you go, set a date and wait! (Until i get proven wrong, lol!)
Its amazing how many people cried fake when the alleged Mini photos and videos came out.
Now Apple proves that these leaks were 100% correct.
Unfortunately, I bet that non of those people will say, "oh my, I really know squat about this stuff. Perhaps I should stop commenting..." or words to that effect.
Interesting how this thread, full of EVERYONE screaming "FAKE!!!", has suddenly gone completely silent and all of the naysayers seem to have retreated into hiding
