Dear Members.
I have decided to setup a new Home Media Center with Mac Mini using XBMC or Plex. I have tried Apple TV, used TVIX (PC) HD before and different kinds of media player without being satisfied due to file format supporting issues. I have checked out several solutions like Acer Revo, Asus E and some other etc. but in the end I have decided to go for Mac Mini. The only question and therefor would I like to get your input on and opinions is the question: Is better to buy Mac Mini Standard or Mac Mini with Lion Server? The CPU is smaller in Mac Mini Server but it has also some other advantages like possibly hosting our private webpage and etc.
Which Mac Mini would you members recommend? Mac Mini Standard or Mac Mini with Lion Server as a Media Center?
Best regards, Deckerinn
