FYI... while no guaranty that you get the same silent upgrade, I recently ordered the 1.83Ghz mac Mini refurb 80GB HD/512MB Ram/ AP/BT and Superdrive for $469.
When it arrived it came with 1 GB of RAM installed. This seems not to be an uncommon silent upgrade for these machines, though by no means a certainty.
Given the price of the warranty covered refurb minis in the Apple Store, I would pay no more than $300 for that model... assuming I needed one.
I agree that the unknown of it being used for a year detracts some value from it... though in all likelihood it is probably fine.
