This was directed to Bill but since I also have a Mac Mini I figured I would mention some things.
I tested with my Meter and the only time the meter went off was right near the light in front by the CD Slot. If I moved a few inches away there was no reading. So, as long as you are about 4-6 inches away from the Mini I think it's fine.
The computer works great, no chemical smells at all and quiet as a mouse.
