Wow! Did not realize WE were doing a "List" 'What you have?'
OK......
I have NO HTPC. I have NO BitTorrents. I have no Consoles....
I also have NO children...
I do have a wonderful NAS (thank you JRS!).
I still watch/read this "List" for tips/tweaks.
I am not so much "Video-Centric" yet.
Can get there. Still need a big screen! .... :)
Best,
Duncan

Looks like my needs are a lot less than some of the other guys. :)
I use my Terabyte NAS box, it has DNLA, media streaming, iTunes sharing, etc, built in.
I can listen to music and watch movies from any PC or Mac in the house,
and also on the 50 inch TV thru my Xbox360, so I guess that's good enuff
for my needs. :)
The NAS even has Torrent clients and such built in that I don't use... :)

A week ago I finally pulled the trigger and bought my first HD TV (32"
1080p Insignia, it was on sale!). Finally this weekend settled it in
the place where it will stay, now I'm looking for something to send my
media files to it. It does have a VGA input, so the computer on the
other side of the wall can run video to it, but that's awkward. So I
figured on some kind of media server. Is there anything good out
there? I've seen a bunch of Linksys units on Newegg that handle a
large amount of formats. As these good?
Incidentally, my first time watching HD (now two Sunday's worth of
football), I love the detail and especially how much more of the field
you can see. But I also noticed that Hi Def can show you things you
don't want to see. I'm not talking about blemishes or
cuts/bruises/blood. I'm talking....NOSE HAIRS. Amazing how much of
that I can see now.....;-)
Ah, but I really want to know what people are using for media servers.....
Thanks...Steve
