Would any of these be up to the challenge of hooking up to my 500GB external HD, and using iTunes to share my library, so that i can stream music to my laptop?

Apple tower 2xG3 working 1xG3 case 1xG4 spares - adverts.ie

I can buy a USB dongle if need be

Cheers.

You should consider a NAS instead. Many NAS devices like this one have a built-in iTunes server. This way, you don't have to have a full-fledged computer sucking up electricity to do such a simple task.

It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!
