I would suggest waiting until the Minis are updated, whenever that is, but to anyone who must pull the trigger now I'd suggest a 2012 Mini at a discount rather than today's 2014-era Minis at retail price. Resell the 2012 if you're tempted by the new offering, when and if they ever come out.
I didn't like the 2014 Minis even when they came out - and that's what drew me to a Hackintosh. I have a love/hate relationship with it, and if I had to do it over again I'd have gone with a 2012 quad core Mini. Many, many, many hours spent futzing with the Hackintosh to confer full Apple compatibility...some I enjoyed, some I did not.
I think that's the route I'll be taking - going for a 2012 and then possibly reselling when new minis come out. So far the cheapest I can find is
$849

$900
