[_] TV: mac mini VS apple tv

howdy _,

I've been thinking of getting a mac mini to connect to my TV, so I can
browse my music/videos/photos etc with front row. I currently have Air
Tunes, which was fine until I sold my G4 powerbook (going to get a MBP
soonish, though might have to wait a little bit till after tax man!),
but now I can't control my itunes lib unless I go upstairs to the
office!

I don't have many movies on my mac, but I do have 90gb of music.

so, would a G4 mini off ebay for £200, with an external HD, hooked up
to my LCD tv via VGA be a better bet than the Apple TV, which to use
properly might mean investing in the new Airport Express router?
