Hi guys just recently picked up a mac mini which I am in the process of upgrading to use as a student comp/media centre.

Whats really bugging me is having to use my old mac pro keyboard and mouse even though I could be on the couch across the room from the tv, computing in comfort and style!!

I've been checking out the second hand offerings on ebay, and I'm not liking the looks of paying almost as much as brand new + postage to pick one up, and I'm still 80 odd posts from being able to post in the trading forums.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I could find something at a decent price? I would love to go brand new, but buying the mini + upgrades, and saving for a decent tv to set it up on has seriously tapped my resources... so trying to find a good deal for the meantime.

Thanks!

Unfortunately Apple peripherals tend to hold their value. If the media you're playing is iTunes friendly, then why not consider an Apple remote with Frontrow? Does the Mac Mini come with one?

Yeah, the mini came with frontrow and remote included which is awesome! (I've only had G4s before the mini,so it's all kind of exciting!)

I'm just after the keyboard/mouse for the uni work side of things. I could go for 3rd party gear... but would prefer to keep the whole thing mac!

I just figured there must be somewhere I could buy this stuff second hand?? May end up having to ebay
