Well... if you want a tidy "all-in-one" package, the $479 1.83Ghz SuperDrive model is a pretty good deal. If you don't mind an external drive the size of the mini itself, an external DVD burner isn't a bad way to go. In my media system I like the tidiness of a single point of access... the mini.
Core 2 Duo doesn't really get you all that much more performance right now... and if you so desire in the future you can replace the Core Duo with a Core 2 Duo when the price is cheap enough on the replacement processor.
No guaranty you will get the new OS with a refurb in a few months.
It ain't for everyone, but the $479 model is a *very* good deal for the right situations.
