I have been running a client/server combo myth box for a while using NFS root
and recording storage (no local disk) because it was just too darn loud. Now I
am looking at upgrading hardware and was curious what people think about modern
disks, power supplies, case fans, etc. Can you build an "HTPC" with all those
things such that you can hear the TV over the hardware noise? When the house is
quiet, does that new box in the entertainment center draw all ears to it? And I
am talking "living room", not "dorm room".
I was planning on building a server box and leaving it in the office closet, and
to hell with the dBs, then building the client with a nice mini HTPC case, CF
boot disk (or maybe NFS). The drawback here is not using the PVR350 for video
output.
So I'd love to hear experiences on case volumes with modern cases, hard drives,
PSUs and case fans. I'd also be interested in how stable people's separate
client / server installations are working out to be.
