Curious to see what a Mac mini and an Airport Extreme look like side-by-side? Me, too. Luckily, the folks at iLounge have put up a gallery of just such a comparison. They note that the footprint and shape of both devices is exactly the same, while the mini is slightly taller. While not in the gallery, iLounge notes that the Apple TV is a bit larger all around. They even go so far as to compare the devices' power bricks (if such a thing interests you), as well as the Apple TV setup.
A nice job by the people at iLounge. The only thing I dislike about galleries like this is they make me want to buy new hardware.

I am sick of galleries. Someone write up a damn review! I want to know how the USB sharing works. Can it do RAID? What filesystems can it read or write?

Hey LD:
HFS, HFS+, and FAT32. You can connect multiple devices but I can't be sure that you can do RAID.

We also have an idea of what the "totally new, entirely redesigned" mac mini of a few months from now will look like!
