Can you please provide information about the temperatures of Mac Mini while idle and while reproducing 1080p?
Additionally how quite is during playback? I have read various posts about temperatures reaching up to 90 degrees Celcius.
Thank you in advance
I'm running dharma on a mini.
The mini runs 24x7 and we sleep in the room with it.

If you can tell me how to extract that information from the command line, I'll be happy to share. I'm more familiar with linux than I am bsd.
We have the mini connected via HDMI to an Onkyo receiver that is connected to a 46" Mitsubishi LCD.
We mostly watch DVDs ripped to ISO images, but I have recently created some mkv rips of bluray disks.
We store media on a linux based file server in a separate room, and exported via NFS over 1GB network to every room in the house.
Even with the DVD rips we get annoying stutter and jitter during playback, and weird issues with navigation but only on some DVDs. I think the navigation issues are due to the way the DVDs were ripped.
I'd MUCH rather run xbmc on a linux box, but this one sits in the master bedroom and has to be as simple and reliable and as easy as possible.
The remote is still a big issue for the wife.
