Sorry to hear about Irene.

Thanks for the solutions and the links. I think many in the market for mini are tossing up between these models. Do you mind explaining the advantage of getting the extra storage in your mini server config considering that your content will be on the raid.

I have been tipping towards the server model especially because I have a dual aim; to set it up as an xbmc machine and also perform serveresque functions such as streaming (+ on the fly decoding) the local content as a nas to peripherals like the ipad2. Some of the info I came across suggests that a quad core machine doesn't suddenly make the machine twice as quick. It is only an advantage if your apps utilise multicores. I think Handbrake is a good example of one.

However, I am assuming that if you are multitasking with cpu intensive apps, that a quad core must be an advantage irrespective of the type of apps ?

Macmini Server 2011 i7 Quad Core, OS 10.8.2, Amp Onkyo TX-SR308 USB WD drives 3x2TB TV Samsung Plasma 720p EyeTV Integration
There are only 10 kinds of people in this world, those who understand binary, and those who don't.
