How good are these as servers? Would they stream movies from an external USB hard drive to an ATV2?
I have one unused I could setup this way.
I use an iBook G4 as a client to stream ripped movies. Works pretty well after the initial load and scale to full screen hiccup (30 seconds to a minute of startup and you should be fine). My best guess is that streaming from a G4 server would be easier on the system than decoding the video for playback.
