[QUOTE="hafblade, post: 840260, member: 110423"] I'm also thinking about this issue. I would love to have a Windows Home Server in the basement with an installed "For The Record" server and some other things like a tomcat to test my coding, upnp server, download server, and so on but I'm living alone (at the moment) and it's a little bit overpowered for one person :P (but I love this hardware fun ;) ) Pros: - Server may be noisy like hell - Many place for hard drives - There can be many software running without disturbing the user experience - Remote desktop (no monitor on server) is easier possible - Backups are easier to manage - HTPC may use a smaller case and may be more silent - It's fun Cons: - More energy consumption due to more pcs running at the same time - One more pc to administrate => more work => less time - Have to buy more hardware [/QUOTE]
