Here's a possible twist...
Since there's no more optical drive in the Mac Mini, they don't necessarily need to keep the current form factor. Think iMac G4 lamp base shaped computers, or a short squat little cylinder, etc.
I'm not saying Apple is gonna do it, but now they actually could.

Or even make it a small tower with easily-accessible/replaceable components, plus slots for additional drives and PCI cards?
One reason I stayed away from the Mini was that it was essentially an headless laptop: small, cramped, with slow laptop drives. I bought an iMac instead; theoretically more robust components (true?), but probably even more inaccessible.

Mr, that's kind of the way I am about a mini. Seems like a laptop without monitor. I think there's a big gap between the mini and Mac Pro for desktop. iMac to me is totally different since it's all in one, which I've never liked. I don't know why, just me. But, I am a cash paying long time, bought MANY Macs customer.
