[DM-MUG] Options ref. CPU for Server

[Matthew W.]

I'm not sure why the Mini wouldn't be a fine server. Many a Web site  
is run on a Mini (just Google "Mac mini server hosting"). The main  
weakness of the Mini is the internal drive, but hang a FireWire drive  
or two off it and use one as a boot drive, and the speed is equal to  
an iMac and probably about double the fastest G5. A Mini is tons  
smaller than a G5, uses less power, and is easily transported for  
repair or reallocation of space.

OTOH, the G5 would be a great server too, it is just bigger.
