I've been using my Mini as a general purpose server for the last couple of weeks. I leave it on as a machine I can ssh or VNC into from work, so I can start jobs running, find files, etc when I'm away from home. I've also started the built-in Apache up, but it's just serving test files at the moment. I've not had any issues with it at all. Running as a server requires very little CPU processing (unless your site has high traffic) and day to day the box gives off very little heat. It's also quite intelligent about attached drives - when not used for a while, my Lacie external drive spins down. The internal one does too, so that's even less heat produced and power being drawn.
