I want to get a Mac Mini for my TV. Front Row is fine for streaming iTunes video, but are there any apps/tips for streaming my "other" files? WMV, DivX, AVI etc? I'll be using ethernet so speed shouldnt be an issue (i hope).

VideoLAN and VLC can be used for what you want.

Nice I'd never heard of that before. Time to remove the other QT components I installed. 🙂
