I'm looking at purchasing a new mac mini for a HTPC, mainly for music.

I would plan on hooking this up to my HDTV via S-video.

Has anyone experienced using Elgato Eyehome for macs? I'm trying to figure out what the purpose of this device really is. Is it just for a better GUI?

My plan would be to purchase 1 or 2 external disk drives, or possibly some form of a RAID array for mirroring. I believe Lacie makes something of that nature. That way I don't have to worry about loosing all my music if ONE hardrive crashes.

What can I do about the SQ from a mac mini? Would it be worth using a some form of USB to digital output? Or just stick with the analog output?

Thoughts / comments are appreciated!
