[QUOTE="Ramshackles, post: 222484, member: 61980"] Evening all, So I've got my client up and running in the livingroom and all is well :) Currently I have all my HDDs in my main pc which is in my bedroom, not really the best solution since it's not always on and I would like my digital media (movies/music) to always be available from my livingroom. I've looked into NAS which seems bit too expensive if you consider it cant easily be expanded. I've looked at external eSata/USB/Firewire drives but that would leave me with a bunch of disk all around and I'd run out of connectors or need to buy a hub etc etc. Now I'm considering getting a tower with a decent cpu/motherboard/ram preferably a motherboard with a lot of sata connectors, and using it as a fileserver, running windows home server perhaps or something along those lines. What are you storing your digital media on? I'm hoping for a somewhat future proof solution, a standalone server seems to be able to do that best? [/QUOTE]
