I'll skip the obvious short bus comment.
Although size matters, performance matters even more.
When you upgrade the RAM to 512, make it a super drive (the current standard for pretty much any PC over $600), and add the mouse and keyboard, you are up to almost $900. An outdated computer for $900. It gets better, the order screen on the apple store fails to mention that it doesn't come with a monitor (it's not even listed as an upgrade). Since this is pushed as an entry level PC, it's not likely that they have a monitor lying around. I'm sure that there will be many who order it only to find out they still need a monitor.
Once you add the monitor, you're at about $1100. You can get a damn fine PC for $1100. Surely it would be much better than some outdated POS. However, it might not look 'cool'
