Venturing into Apple Land

I saw some deals on refurbished apple products and I am now very tempted to get one of Mac mini, iMac or macbook. I like the Mac mini because its so portable, I can take it to my living room and hook it up to the TV and work with a wireless keyboard, record TV programming and burn it off on DVD etc. Cool, huh. The iMac is cool because it has more bang for the buck, faster HDD (7200 RPM), integrated monitor, larger disk etc. Also the whole thing just requires only ONE cable, the power cable from the monitor to the socket, wow! Of course assuming you connect with a wireless keyboard and mouse. The macbook is a laptop, but as with laptops, you get portability at the cost of slower resources and higher price. I already have a laptop from work that allows me to sit infront of the TV and work (and surf, email etc).

All of these of course are very quiet, which is a big issue with me. I want them to be running 24/7 in my bedroom and be as silent as possible. Normal out-of-the-box PCs dont give you that.
