I am looking to either buy a mac mini or to build a htpc. I am only going to use it to play dvd's that I either have stored on my harddrive or play in the dvd player. I would like to be able to play music. I will not be using it for any games. I would appreciated any help on this. I have a 20 imac and I am new to macs, and so far i love it, but I have been with pc forever. I will be using mymovies as my dvd interface until mac as one that is just as good. So any info would be great

Did you read the macmini sticky thread above? I'm new to mac and haven't yet converted my HTPC to mac, but clearly you can do everything you're asking. Personally mymovies is one of the reasons I'm abandoning the PC platform - there simply is no app that works well as a front end in my experience for managing a large collection of ripped DVDs.
