I have an old iBook G4 that was a christmas present, but I have save up a bit and would now like to invest in something of my own. I plan on buying a Mac Mini and using it as an HTPC for my bedroom. My questions are:

1) Is this my best choice for a first time HTPC solution?
2) While I don't have much HD content, I have enough to require that the Mac Mini be able to play it without dropped frames. How old of a Mac Mini could I get and still be able to play back HD content, both ripped and streamed.
3) What is emulation like on a mac? Would it be possible for me to incorporate emulation into my HTPC?
