Update: The original source has uploaded a brief video showcasing the the alleged new Mac Mini.

An image has appeared over on the MacRumors discussion boards of what appears to be the eagerly anticipated next generation Mac Mini.

Details are still scarce, but the source claims the new Mini will ship with a 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of DDR3 memory and a SATA Super Drive. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the apparent inclusion of a FireWire port, which Apple controversially axed from the new unibody MacBook range in October.

Apple was expected to unveil a revised Mini back at MacWorld in January, but failed to deliver leaving many consumers bitterly disappointed. The new hardware, like the MacBook family, is expected to be powered by NVIDIA chipsets.

The Mac Mini was last updated in August 2007.
