If I could use NFS for both root and swap (perhaps with the help of additional installed RAM) then I could shut down the drive, gaining a 50-75% reduction in ambient noise. The noise from the XBox isn't a problem when playing games since they tend to be loud anyway, but it's a real distraction when watching a relatively quiet recording. I figure having a slow swap would make navigating the menus painful and would delay the start of the playback, but once I'm actually watching TV I wouldn't expect to have a lot of paging going on. I was hoping someone on here would have already tried it and could tell me that it definitely works or definitely doesn't work so I don't spend a lot of (potentially wasted) time reinventing the wheel.
