So, I want to build a machine that will do the following:
- Be connected to my network at home (probably wireless but not essential)
- Be connected and use my plasma (main TV in lounge) as the monitor
- Have huge storage for all my music and DVD, and any show's I record
- HD tuner cards. 2, to be able to record and watch at the same time
- access to internet in lounge
- playing emulator games
- able to access from the internet (kinda like FTP server?)
- possibly connect a gaming station to the network also (PS3 etc)
- blueray player
can't think of anything else right now.
But what I am thinking is to maybe even have a server setup that does some of the work (as in the storage and network connections) and then just a small media centre to connect to the plasma and be the machine that does all the playing of games/music/movies.
I've talked to a fair few people who have set up media centre's but just wanted any extra tips.
any help/tips anything will great.
thanks.
