I find that PCs can work ok as media servers, but likewise I prefer tiny, headless streamers using stripped down Linux based operating systems for that single important task.
Smaller, optimized power supplies can be employed and there aren't constant interrupts from hundreds of unrelated processes swapping in and out of memory.
Having said that, a Mac Mini works fine as player in the non-critical office system. Which is also where the media server lives. Main system upstairs connected via ethernet :)
