Hmmm. As far as I know the barebone market in Germany, you won't get anything with comparable performance so very much cheaper than EUR500. OK, maybe for about EUR400, depends on where you buy. But if what I have read about the Mac Mini so far is true, such a barebone will usually be bigger and louder.

I consider the fact that it comes with a decent, yet very easy to use OS the real big advantage. I think for the average user, avoiding Windows is well worth EUR200 and more :)
