In theory it's off-putting, but in practice I'm not really bothered by the changes. If I were to buy one, it would only be as a home server for iTunes Library hosting (to AppleTV) and as a backup destination for CrashPlan. My current server is an old Dell desktop that draws a lot of power and it's pretty noisy. Even the base configuration of the mini is plenty for what I would want to do with it.
