[QUOTE="dcwp, post: 418217, member: 25562"] Wow, that's very cool! I can't wait to see it once all the images are migrated to the right place. Right now the biggest deterrent for me not to g with an attic mounted system is the optical drive and power button. In this one, it looks like he actually goes into the attic every time he needs to load a disk. That could be dealt with by an external OD hidden behind the TV or even by ripping on a laptop and transferring over LAN to the server, but it would be an extra hassle. As for the Power, I can't think of a very good way to handle it from a different room. I find myself having to hard shutoff once in a while if the system freezes and going up to the attic would just add to the frustration. I know IMon makes an IR receiver that plugs into the power header on the MoBo and maybe I could use an IR relay to get from the living room to that, but I actually like my current remote setup and it sounds pricey just to get remote power control. Anyway, more great stuff to think about. Maybe I'll get excited about this sometime in the summer. Thanks for the link. [/QUOTE]
