Maybe I'm unusual but I quickly realised a 'media server' was a waste of space - it had to do more to be useful. It does all this making hardly any noise, using very little power day in day out - gigabit ethernet - what more do you need ? It even acts as a node for rendering when required. It serves ATP and SMB shares to all other devices around the house, the runs evocam with 5 IP camera 24/7 as home security, it runs usenet and torrent downloads. The whole thing runs 24x7 and has done for the last 2 years. It sits on top of 4TB of iomega storage (looks like 2 thinner mac minis) In 2010 it replaced a previous 2006 mac mini doing the same job. it cost 250 quid 'new old stock' from an ebay seller. I have a 2008 mac mini - 2ghz core 2 duo. The key is that it can be more than just a media server and still take up very little room and be ultra reliable.
