Whoa! Those are some sexy PC cases.

You're a lucky bugger regarding the OTA HD. Good for you.

I'd still be tempted to build a network server to house the RAID array, and just have a small, quiet drive for the OS on the local machine. I am a total Linux idiot, and I recently successfully got a similar device up and running for next to no money using Clark Connect Linux. It not only stores media, but also does backups and makes julienne fries. It just looks like the S: drive to my other machines.

But I'm probably over thinking this.

I dig that Seasonic power supply I got. Quiet as a mouse.

Please keep us updated on your exciting project!



Tom,

Can you throw a link on here to give me an example of a what a home network server to house the RAID array would look like/require? I will be using XP PRO for an OS until Vista gets the kinks out, so for a loooooong time.

The HDTV card I ordered came bundled with a Firefly remote, USB receiver and Beyond TV 4 bundled. I bought a Harmony 880 a few months ago and it passed the WAF, so instituting another remote will be interesting. Who knows, I may go through the trouble of setting up the 880 for HTPC use also.

I have seen a couple of things that were interesting but most likely not appropriate for my situation like this Disk Array.

Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.
