I've got something similar going on a Mac Mini....well, same thing and a whole lot more.
I have a 3TB Promise RAID running RAID 5 attached via eSATA to a Mac Mini. That stores all my music, movies, pictures, etc. Running 10.6 server. All the music is added into iTunes, like yours, and shared out on the network. The AppleTV is joined up to it as well so that it can play all the movies and TV shows. AirTunes works great streaming to the Apple TV.
I use Remote Desktop to get to it, but screen sharing works just as well. The Mac Mini also has a volume set as a Time Machine share and I back up all my other Macs to the external drive.
I need to get the Kill A Watt on it to see how much power it consumes.
