I don't have a Mac Mini, but have also considered getting one to use as a front-end. I agree that they seem to be cheaper than comparably equipped PCs, and considerably nicer. As for being quiet, they definitely are that. There seems to be some people that are reporting loud fans in some situations, but when I tried doing a few things with one I couldn't even tell there was a fan. I do think that the DVD drive may be pretty noisy though. Although, I currently have a Pundit frontend with a DVD and I don't think it could be louder than that... and even its bareable. As for remotes, there are several available - just Google and you'll turn up a bunch. I've been using my Powerbook as an occasional front-end and use Salling Clicker so that I can control it from my bluetooth phone. I also wrote a very basic action suite for Clicker that gives you basic control of MythTV, its available here (http://homepage.mac.com/bdolman/FileSharing1.html) if you want to check it out.
