I think time will tell how "rock-stable" it is. Win XP is fine until you start allowing it to update itself. For a server (or just about any other use), Linux is definitely more stable. With linux you don't need performance robbing antivirus, anti spyware, and there won't be any security updates that demand restarts, usually at the most inopportune times.
Why would you bother with an SB if the server is going to sit next to the SB anyway? Why not just run the audio from the server directly into the amp? Putting the server and SB on top of each other sort of makes the SB pointless. I guess the SB has a nice remote control interface, but you can get add-on IR remotes for a PC that cost a lot less than an SB. A 15" LCD display plus an IR remote dongle would probably still cost less than an SB.
