[QUOTE="VdR, post: 856153, member: 25818"] Sounds like my house ... media and TV server, 16 port GB LAN switch, VoiP gateway, ADSL modem, UPS in the attick, plenty LAN cables going down to every room. A few remarks from my experience: A NAS is nice, but a server that takes your TV tuner cards as well is nicest. Why do you put 3TB in the client, storage is what the NAS or server is for? If you only have the OS and MP on the client then a 64 GB SSD is more than enough. Keep the clients as simple (and quiet!) as possible. Indeed pull enough LAN cables from the attick down, prevent that you need a switch and power adapter for that one device that you did not think of (VoiP phone). Don't rely on wireless for streaming. Look at the Logitech wireless keyboard with touch pad (sorry don't know the reference, I'm travelling). A separate mouse is very inconvenient in your lap on the couch. ... Do you by any chance also use a Siemens industrial PLC to control the garden and security lights :sneaky:. [/QUOTE]
