Platform for Indigo - Advice Please

I built Indigo 6 on my i7 2.6 Quad Core 8GB RAM Late 21012 Mac Mini.

This Mac Mini performs multiple household tasks.

Indigo
Plex Media Server (32TB of video to a max of 2 1080P screens and iPads etc)
iCamPro - monitors 6 Foscam Camerasand reports motion (Indigo traps alerts and also mages Cameras - i.e. if they lose connection Indigo will perform a power off - then power on to get them back up online)
I also do all my DVD ripping on it, nearly finished ripping entire DVD library (another huge project that seemed like a good idea 5 years ago :-) )

This has all been working really well.

I now want to transfer these four tasks off to my iMac (i7 3.4GHz Quad core with 32GB RAM) and free up my Mac Mini for another project.

The iMac has the latest version of Fusion on it and runs 'Guest'Operating systems I want to play with .

Anyone see an issue with this? Or should I get another Mac Mini just for Indigo - would a 1.4GHz dual core i5 with 4GB RAM do it OK?

OK figured it out

the Mac Mini will run Indigo and iCamPro

The iMac will run Plex, iTunes Music Library, DLs, media conversion (DVD ripping).

The logic being that iCamPro and Indigo have to be running 7x24 - iTunes Music Library and Plex do not.

Especially as I have uploaded the iTunes Music Library into Plex Cloud.
