out of curiousity, who has the media server at home ? i plan to built the media server for movies for home only. any tip wud be helpful.
i have wireless network at home and i do watch the movies on my laptop or tv that come from a regular computer, but i prefer to have the media server at home and i do not want my computer to become the server. i plan to make my old PC into the media server. i consider to have about 500 gb hard drives that can holds 70 movies or more. maybe i look for a rackmount.
the reason i want those movies on harddrive is because i dont want my DVDs get worn out or get scratched badly. my friends or my daughter can damage my DVDs which they already did so i put several movies on my harddrive so we can select a movie on tv or laptop to see that are transfered from my computer but i wud prefer to have the media server.
i have googled some ideas and interests from those movie freaks with their own media servers, but i want to see anyone in AD who may has the media server.
