If you\'re thinking about buying expensive home cinema system well...think again... Mac Mini has everything you need to build such a system yourself, plus it can play all audio-video formats... I\'m not talking about full HD 1080p, well for that you might need something more powerful than Mini, but for playing divX, Xvid or even x264 720p you won\'t find a better piece of \"machinery\"... One of the biggest advantages over standard home cinema systems is that you can stream all content from another PC/Mac or just use external HDD connected to your router/airport... It is not as hard to upgrade Mini as some people think it is, you can easily change the HDD, add some more RAM if you need it...and believe me when I say that there is no other, more stylish piece of technology around...
And let's not forget about plethora of programs for Mac that you can install on Mini, to even further enhance it's capabilities... It can be used as a Apple TV replacement as well...
Overall, Mac Mini is a great performer that can easily blend with your living room , small, stylish and capable of delivering all that you might expect from a top shelf home cinema systems...for the fraction of the price...
