I am trying to open a Streaming Server, and obviously I need Mac OS X Server v10.4. Now here's the thing, I also want a PowerMac G5 to do my video production and other productivity and also take advantage of the Streamign Server. I have two options, either:
A) I buy a Power Mac G5, Mac OS X Server, and a Mac mini and make my Mac mini act like a server. I don't know, I find the Mac mini a reliable server since it doesnt have a monitor and stuff. So I would install Mac OS X Server on the PowerMac G5 and on the Mac mini but the Mac mini will have everything that my streamign server will provide.
B) Buy a PowerMac G5 and make all of my wonders in that machine. Although I don't know if my Streaming Server will affect what I'll do in it, such as Final Cut Pro and stuff. However I find the G5 to be a bit noisy to leave it at night and I thik it's best to leave it off during nightlife and the Mac mini to do all the job. But I can get over the noise while I sleep.
Now my question is, Is option A better than Option B or the other way around? Any thoughts about this?
Thank you in advance.
