[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 931713, member: 75318"] That photography rig sounds like it would make a decent server. I have just gone from a "singleseat" lounge based PC which housed the TV Cards, various disks and acted as the Media Server too, and now have a centralised Server in my basement. It really is soooo much better. The server is a 6 core AMD Phenom II Black Edition, 16Gb DDR 3 1600Mhz RAM (with 12Gb used for timeshifting), a 60Gb SSD and a nVidia GT630 which doesn't get used as the server is accessed via RDC off my laptop. We use MP all the time for TV, and have done so for the past 3 years, and have three fixed clients and two laptop which get occasional use. I think we would be lost without the range of media services MP offers. There are over 830 films, 130+ TV series, 6000 songs and countless photo's on the server now and we can watch all these and more with online videos plugin. This MediaPortal sort of gets you, and you end up gradually upgrading bit by bit to get a great system - it's what happened to me :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
