I'm thinking about buying a Mac Mini for use as a cheap music server, since the ones from Mid 2010 onwards seem to have enough power, have an optical out and Plex seems to do everything that I want.
Since I'll be running from HDMI to my amp (which is designed to bring 2 channel stereo integration with TV/DVD/other HDMI inputs to the party) the display of the mac will be shown on the TV (which is above the stereo) when I switch in that input (and I'll also install a vnc app as well), I think that this could do everything I need.
Basically, a starter music server for under £150. I'm sure there are downsides, or recommendations to do with the use of Mac Mini for this purpose, I'd love to hear them.
