[QUOTE="Nogge69, post: 191970, member: 29805"] Hi Taipan It's been +-a year since i moved over to the TVE3, and can't say I have regretted that for a second. I have 5-6 client PC's running Mediaportal around the house. (Started out with 2 as you are) The first TVE3 server i had was an old Pentium III 800 with 512MB of RAM i had lying around, which actually did the job pretty well. This server was also running on a power schedule using a software called Auto Power-on & Shut-down. (Worked quite well this too) Nowadays, the Server HW has been upgraded a few times, and are running constantly. (In a corner of my basement) I have a MCE500 dual tuner card in there, and are running mail server for the family on it too(FTGATE) All my movies & music is stored on the server, and have attached a 500GB external HD as a backup disk for this. (Scheduling backups every night with SyncToy) It makes life so much easier when you have everything in one place, instead of copying things from here to there all the time:-) The cost for some HW for a server these days are so low that I would highly recommend that, as soon as you have more than one PC running mediaportal.
