He has one of the older power PC processor ones.
Any thoughts?
Will it be too slow if I later want to get an apple TV and stream?

I think it should be fine. Aren't there websites devoted to teh mac mini as media server?
The speed bottleneck is likely to be the network, not the firewire or the internal processor if you're streaming through iTV. Of course, why would you need iTV if you have a mini already doing it?
