[QUOTE="munchiez, post: 1068038, member: 146639"] Hi all, I'm just about to set up my NAS before I start on a HTPC and was hoping for some advice. My ideal setup would be WHS 2011 on the NAS which I'd use to back up our PCs at night and act as file storage and MediaPortal server through the daytime. I'd like the HTPC to be virtually a standalone MP client but use it for occasional gaming. Using WHS adds the cost of software and a hard disk (roughly $150) but if I use FreeNAS I can run the OS from a memory stick and either save some cash or spend it on a better specced HTPC. I guess it would need to be a higher spec as it would then have to run the MP server software as well. Will a client/server installation perform significantly better than a single seat installation? Any advice would be really appreciated! [/QUOTE]
