When out of the UK I use an SSH tunneled proxy server for internet and
some email. Last year I ran it on a heavy duty HP server with
redundant power supplies etc. This year I decided I couldn't afford
the electricity so I set it up on a consumer grade Western Digital My
Book World NAS - I was dubious but it has now been running without a
hitch for 3 months.
Anyone else got interesting uses for NAS devices - Asterisk for example>

I made my own NAS device. I put a WD 7200 rpm, 2TB drive into a bay of
my desktop computer, which runs Fedora 17. I installed nfs on my
desktop computer, (eg yum -y install nfs-utils). Other computers on my
home LAN can mount the WD, 2TD music/video partition to a directory of
their computer to play music or watch movies, just as if the movies and
music were part of their local directory tree.
Also, I have a PS3 and Samsung HD TV in my bedroom, which are connected
together with an hdmi cable. I have installed PS3 Media Server on my
desktop computer in the office with a launcher icon.
When I want to watch a movie, I turn on the PS3 in the bedroom. Then, in
the home office I launch PS3 Media Server on my desktop computer, which
connects to the PS3. I turn on the TV and select the proper HDMI port
as the input source and presently a PS3 icons will appear on the TV
under the music and video titles.
I use the PS3 gaming controller to navigate around the PS3 GUI, select
movies to watch, start and pause movies, fast scroll forward or backward
through movies at various speeds, etc. Gaming controllers, like the one
that comes with the PS3, are becoming very popular for use in
multimedia entertainment.
