Need Mac Mini Server set up advice


I am getting ready to purchase a Mac Mini. Are there any sites or threads with a step by step guide to setup a Mac Mini server?
I have an Ipad as a cortoller and Valab DAC to start.
I need advice for software, configuring the setup, and general info.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
