I love it, but Mac Mini is a bit overkill for a Music Server, and way too expensive for your purposes, IMHO.
Take a look at my Short Bed TAKKY Hack for the Compact Series.
With a USB or USB/Firewire Card in the single slot of the X500 board, you won't need the Sub-Basement Expansion Bay or even the G3 Card for your purposes. With tiny ATX PSU hacked into the CRT area, you could likely run the both MoBo and CRT from it.
Drop it down to 640 x 480 for full screen video output from a DVD or VCR and you can watch colorized movies in the raw as well! :approve:
