Shall I get a PC or a Mac Mini?

I am deciding whether I should get a PC or Mac, I like to edit and use Skype for my chatting, I download lots of programs normally.

I like fresh and fast computers, and PC's have better specs for less price and I can hackintosh it anyway, and with a Mac I can install Bootcamp to get Windows 7, and XP on it, I am not sure which I should get.

Update:

Because I can not reply I will reply to your comment:

1. It's just the actual computer. The reason Macs are so expensive are because the thin screen and the hardrive and R.A.M built into the monitor (screen). The Mac Mini is just like buying a PC actual computer, (like the big thing that you press to turn it on and where the discs go into and that). A PC would be an average of 500-600 dollars/euro/whatever currency. A Mac Mini is only like 500...whatever currency. You just plug it into the monitor and it turns it into a Mac!

Actually PC's have better specs than a mac for cheaper :P

2. If you have an iPod Touch or an iPhone you can do more things with it with a Mac.

Like?

3. It is impossible for you computer to get viruses if you have a Mac. No more worrying about what website is safer and that, it doesn't matter with a Mac!

Not impossible, macs can get some viruses

That's why you should get a Mac. Let's compare it to a PC.

    Get a PC you can always hackintosh it afterwards. Snow leopard is only $30 versus buy windows for your mac its even more.

    You can still get viruses on your mac but it is very very rare.

    PC's are not slower then Macs it just depends on what you have inside.

    I think you should get Mac Mini. Sadly I have a PC but I know everything about Macs. Here are a few reasons to get a Mac Mini.

    1. It's just the actual computer. The reason Macs are so expensive are because the thin screen and the hardrive and R.A.M built into the monitor (screen). The Mac Mini is just like buying a PC actual computer, (like the big thing that you press to turn it on and where the discs go into and that). A PC would be an average of 500-600 dollars/euro/whatever currency. A Mac Mini is only like 500...whatever currency. You just plug it into the monitor and it turns it into a Mac!

    2. If you have an iPod Touch or an iPhone you can do more things with it with a Mac.

    3. It is impossible for you computer to get viruses if you have a Mac. No more worrying about what website is safer and that, it doesn't matter with a Mac!

    That's why you should get a Mac. Let's compare it to a PC.

    1. A PC would be more expensive than a Mac Mini.

    2. A PC can get a firewall and a good virus protector but there is no guarantee you will never get a virus.

    3. You can do some things with the iPod Touch/iPhone but you can't do everything.

    4. PCs are slower than Macs

    5. PCs don't have as good an internet connection. (wireless) But even if you have a plug in broadband it would be slower than a Mac.

    I purchased a Mac Snow Leopard a even as again and the fine factor I have spotted is that there aren't any viruses and likewise takes up much less room considering it's all enclosed within the track.
