Been quietly watching this thread as I have been contemplating a home media server myself. Been thinking of getting off cable for a while since almost everything I watch is via DVR and 99% of it available through the web. Also want to put my movie collection on hard drives so it's easier to pull up.

I think between Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and all the free crap on the web plus what I have in hand I am well covered in the media arena.

My only concern is that I put the time in effort getting it all setup then some genius comes out with an all in one package that does it better and cheaper. Not that I am seeing it on the near horizon though, just that nagging thought.

I assume you are still going with Windows Media Center Brian? Also which internet TV plugin are you using? I was looking at SecondRun.tv which looked very nice for although it costs 4 bucks and many are free.
