Yes and no is the quick answer
It is a build to order option when you buy it, as you have to specify bluetooth and airport at the time of purchase.
But the good news is (depending on where you bought it), you can ask an Apple authorised dealer to post fit one. The bad news is unless you bought it from them, you will be charged the cost of the airport card and install charge. That charge will be around £70 est.
That is why it is cheaper to specify it at time of purchase as you save on the install charge.

hope that all helps

As Swiss says, but to add the Mac Mini now comes with Airport and Bluetooth as standard on all but the base models.

it just i have been offered what i think is a really good deal of the mac mini, 17" tft key board and mouse for £400 , it does not have the wireless tho and i really do need that.
Is that a good deal? or shall i just buy one with the wireless for £400 plus the cost of monitor and keyboard?

I liked em so much, I've got and bought a load of 1.45 jobs with all the trimmings, to compliment my room of G5 DPs

Suprising how good they are, although they do tend to slow a bit when you whack up the screen resolution.

I love em

I'd still go for it at that price. Jut wap in an extra stick of RAM to take it to 512 or more when you are getting the Airport fitted and you'll have yourself a nice little machine there.
