It's not that far off the mark. I'm considering a future post about this very subject but haven't decided if I'll do it in the lead up to or the aftermath of said Mac mini purchase. The way I see it, if most of you "computing" is done on your laptop, why <i>not</i> do something like hook up a Mac mini to an HD LCD TV. If you consider that a 1080p HD TV has a resolution roughly equivalent to that of a 24" iMac (but one you can get at roughly twice the size) then it starts to become a very attractive option. @Scott– In a manner of speaking, this is just a variation on the iMac-based strategy we’re using for all movies/music in our home now.

I've been back-and-forth on the subject for quite some time. I suppose I'm still holding out hope that apple has bigger plans for Apple TV, but so far no luck. Would be interested to hear your thoughts. Are you considering using a mac mini as home media server? I’ve been back-and-forth on the subject for quite some time.
