What is the best way to set up a Mac Mini music server? The most significant upgrade you can make to you Mac Mini is to replace the stock switch-mode power supply (SMPS) with a low-noise linear power supply.

The mac mini is basically a laptop without a screen and no keyboard or mouse included. You would think to yourself, who the heck is going to use this thing? However, this computer uses less electricity than most light bulbs, works sublimely well, and of course uses the mac os x operating system, which means unix at its core. Therefore, anything that can be done on a unix computer, can be done on this one.
Well, as I have found, having a mac mini and working as a home jack of all trades server provides loads of great advantages. You can setup that computer to share your music over the internet, provide a large photo album site, even talk to your roomba, or play movies on your new 42' flat screen tv. Let you're imagination go wild!
I've segmented this into loads of other instructables and grouped them together as one cohesive group. Each instructable is mostly independent, so you choose which ones you like.
I will probably continue to always be updating these, so post in the comments what other information is needed in each one.
