Network attached storage



  Boxster S
I'm looking to set up a server for music and movies that I can stream through the house via Wi-Fi.

I like to look of the Netgear SC-101 http://www.netgear.com/products/details/SC101.php so I can bung 2 IDE drives in it, map the drives and have them set up as music and video drives. Has anybody got an experience of these or a better suggestion?

Also does anybody know of a device that will steam music from a device like this and play it through a normal stereo amp?

theres quite a few players on the market i looked into them a while back , but there was still problems with div x / x vid versions. so try n get one where the firmware can be updated
 
John aka Night.Icon is doing exactly what you're talking about at the moment, he's using the same NAS and looking at using a soloution from D-Link to stream the vids/music, can't remember the model number of it though, netgear do one as well but I've heard it's pap.

when i looked into it i was guna use a

pc server nowt special but in a shuttle case just cos its small,
pinnacle digital tv card

pinacle 1000g in spare room
just so i could use it like a multimedia pc , but in 2 rooms ,

the theory all works and examples work but over here none of the cards seemed to support proper epg , like how you see programs on sky + to record them,

however all this epg is starting to come in now in uk , some download the times from sites live radio times , others use sites like www.tvtv.com , where u select it off the web then it sets it up for yers.

in end due to funds i set up

this pc with loads of space with monitor and 21" tv , so i can watch and films etc load up on pc but on the tv in other room and watch them as well as use the pc, it also has 2 soundcards , one is dedicated to windows media player and all sound goes to tv. other general windows sounds and itunes , which goes to hifi.

i also have a second pc running for digital tv and recording if ever i want that playing through the same 21" tv , this has a tv remote for if ever i dont want to use the mouse,
