Apple gives Mac mini a spec bump, adds dual-HDD Mac mini server {Engadget}
Oct 20th 2009 11:16PM or...if you wanna keep it mac, and want a simple home server of sorts (something to store media and perform backups, which is all john q. public wants/needs), just do the following:
- get a 1tb time capsule for $300
- buy a 2tb green hdd $200
- create two partitions on the drive: one called 'nas', one called 'time machine backups'
- replace the hdd in the time capsule (and maybe do a fan mod while youre in there)
- sit back and enjoy twice the storage of this dumb 'server mac mini', the sweet router capabilities, and the fact that you can share files in a mixed computing environment (win7 htpc and macs/hackintoshes) just like the big boys
ps: before any of you mathemagicians try to point out that you could just buy the 2tb time capsule for $500, i would like to remind you that you end up with a 1tb 'server grade' (haha...i kid, i kid) hdd to put in your rig.

Niveus goes consumer-level with tantalizing Zone HTPC {Engadget}
Apr 1st 2009 9:15AM yeah, but then youd forgo the bluray drive and media center. if you forgo the media center, then you forgo the universal remote. thus, you end up with an attractive little computer with a tv for a monitor.
i almost went the mac route for my htpc, but windows just makes more sense for real world home theater use.
