Yeah, it is a bit much. I'd really have to look at all the options before I went the Mac Server route.
One thing that really concerns me is the overheating. With how much I use my Xbox right now as a media server, this Mac mini would get a ton of use. It would be on for hours at a time everyday. It's a nice-looking case, but I'm not sure if the venting is practical enough for that kind of always-on usage.
Mind you, the iMacs are always on, and they do fine. Plus the aluminum does act as a heatsink...
I'd obviously price things out on the PC side first (I always do), but it's so difficult to find a case that I'd want to put in my living room that doesn't cost at least $200.
