Aside from all the iPhone 4 hype today, Apple also released an updated Mac Mini. This eco-friendly model features a 1.4-inch thin aluminum unibody enclosure, a built-in power supply, removable panel for easy upgrades, HDMI port, SD card reader. On the inside, you'll find either a 2.4GHz or 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of SDRAM (8GB max.), and an NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor with 256MB of DDR3 SDRAM shared with main memory.

While not running on official Apple hardware, the Hackintosh Jr. gets its looks from the big tower Macs, but at 5.5" (h) x 7" (w) x 5" (d), it's not much bigger than a Mac Mini.[via Technabob]
Now that you've seen a spy shot of the new Mac Mini, we've got a video of the computer to prove its validity. Continue reading to watch.

Could the above picture be depicting the new Mac Mini? It very well may be, according to a Mac Rumors forum member. Featuring five USB ports, "an Ethernet port, Firewire, Mini DisplayPort and the old style mini DVI Mac display port."
