i don't understand, windows 7 its self is 200 dollars, are you using pirated version, because of low budget?

@SerbiaVlog The Mac Mini which comes with a dedicated GPU is USD800, mine including the Win 7 is similar to that price. Not to mention that my build has double the RAM (8GB vs. 4GB on Mac Mini), four times the DDR memory on the dedicated display card (1GB GTS450 vs. 256MB 6630M) and an Intel SSD (instead of the 5400rpm HDD on Mac Mini).
