This is one reason why I never got a Mini as my home server. Every time I compared it to a low end MacBook, the MacBook would win.
MacBook has a Monitor, Keyboard, Track Pad, and built-in UPS, and I suspect that it uses less power than a Mini+Monitor too. For $699 after rebate, I got the FW-400 MacBook from Microcenter last year when they were closing them out.
