Yeah, I could do likewise (SB + HTPC), but there'll be several locations with a TV in the new house, it'd be nice to have a single device in each location for tidiness and energy efficiency. Plus the advantages of less remotes, less GUIs to teach the wife etc....

Does the Mac Mini have a built in amp?
