The Mac Mini is a nice computer, but macOS mostly sucks as a server OS and linux options are limited. After you consider the base specs, $800 gives you a poor offering compared to other SFX PCs, moreso once you add the markup on any spec upgrades. The CPU and associated power usage is nice, but I don't think it will pay for itself in that regard.
