The mac mini isn't bad, i bought one to use in my livingroom off an lcd tv last fall, the 2.0ghz core 2 one.
For shits and giggles its pretty nice, throw any encoding or serious work at it and things go downhill though.
Eventually I replaced the mini in the living room with an apple tv being fed by a mac pro in my office room that handles encoding and whatnot. The mac mini was given to my parents and setup in their livingroom with a monitor to use as their computer, and also hooked to their plasma to use through frontrow. Every so often i bring them up a hard drive of movies to copy over.
It works great for their needs.
The mac pro is by far the best computer i've ever owned, but expensive as hell.
