So Apple announced an entire refresh of their Desktop line. Everything from the Mac Minis, to the Mac Pros, and even some other peripherals like Time Machine, Airport Extreme and new keyboards.

With this, I’m debating on whether to get a new Mac Mini to use as a server, media center, or development machine. Or whether I should get the Apple Server Maintenance for the copy of Server I already have.

I’m leaning towards the Server Maintenance, therefore I don’t have to plop down $500 for each version of OS X Server that is released in the next 3 years. Since I can always buy a new machine later, since I have to have the Apple Server Maintenance before the next version of Server (which is 10.6) arrives. I’m not sure when that day will be, which is why I’m leaning towards the maintenance program.

I’m not 100% sure what to do, but I guess I’ll sit and think about it for a bit before actually acting.
