The Mini Mac would look really good in an application I have. I have never used a Mac and know almost nothing about them.
Here is my question:

I am thinking of using a Sanyo Z4 and a 60" screen in the bedroom. I test drove a friends Z4 in my viewing room and it performed very well on a 126" 16:9 screen. I currently have a 1.2 TB file computer that is just a PC running XP Pro with a 3ware raid card. Can I use the movies that are stored on the file computer via a Mini Mac? Would I have to modify the XP box to do it? Would I use Samba? Is it easy? If it will work it would be a cool solution. The Mini Mac would look good and it would give me a chance to play with a Mac!
