In the UK it seems when there is a dollar price we end up paying the same in pounds and that usually includes 17.5% VAT, even without the VAT there are no comparison with US pricing.
Just looked on Apple's site and it lists the 1.66Ghz Core Duo as £399.01 inc VAT and the 1.83Ghz as £529.00
Thanks for that info, that is more like it close to the rate of exchange + VAT and a little for shipping, etc. The MicroMart article may well have used the pricing for the higher spec core duo Mac Mini, though that is higher than the Mac UK Store price also.
I really like the style of the Mac TFT's I paid £320 for my Phillips 20.1" TFT but £529 for the 20" Cinema TFT 'ouch' but it does have some nice features.
