How about running the server on a PC or Mac, but keeping the files on a NAS? What sort of data throughput do you need from the NAS to be able to keep up with the streaming? I know that some of the cheaper units run out of steam pretty quickly - is GigaBit ethernet a must for streaming lossless? Local disk storage is faster, but upgrading PSUs and adding fans to my existing PC is probably a non-starter. Can you use a crossover network cable on a NAS and have it as dedicated attached storage? Anyone tried that? So many questions...sorry! Especially if this is all on the Wiki or in the FAQ! I eventually want to get a ReadyNAS or similar and carry on running the server code on a MacG4 or a PC. I'm hoping that by having both wired on a router and just the SB on wireless I won't end up with too much wireless traffic.
