I read from the Dell that it gets somewhat lound under load, compared
to the mini, while being quiet when it is idle.

For me, 802.11g reaches more than 25 mbit/s though a wall using Atheros
cards and a Linksys WRT54GS AP. I can rsync large files with ~3 MB/s.
So you may check the bandwidth of your HD content and if it is below 20
mbit/s then 802.11g may still be an option.
