mac min or pc

i am thinking about putting together a music server
option 1:
using mac min tolink to dac and apple I Touch as remote control itune, is there a similar solution on the pc side. ( without using a monitor).
It seems to me you get alot more hardware, faster cpu, hard drive for the same amount of money

mac mini is a great choice.

Only way I would suggest something different is if you are trying to output 24/176.

Once you have Mac, you never go back. Sorry. Seriously, similar to comparing a big box store "throw away" component to an "audiophile company" piece. More expensive up front, but much better quality & has value down the road. Good Luck.

last year's models are available for a discount. if you know someone in school, you might hook yourself up with a student discount as well. Run it 'headless' and you've saved enough $$ to buy yourself some digital toys.

My new mini just arrived yesterday! Now if only I can figure out what do for a DAC!
