[quote][i]Originally posted by Aaron[/i] Talk to me... My current home server, which is just a small form factor desktop computer, has started playing up. The issue is the hard drive, which is easily fixable by replacing it, but, I think now is the time to replace it (the server its's self) with something a better spec. Anyway, my current Media Centre is also just a desktop computer, which I’m seriously considering making my replacement server. It’s got a 64bit chip, thus will then allow me to move onto Server 2008R2 rather than the 2003 server which I’ve been using for years. So, if I do the above, I’ll need a new media centre for the living room. I've heard things like "PopCorn Box" banded around a few times, but I have no personal experience of them. I'll need something which can play videos from an external source such as a NAS or mapped network drive from a server. The videos will be DivX/XviD avi files, and maybe .mkv's in the future. Any opinions on hardware will be great :) [Edited on 30-12-2010 by Aaron] [/quote]
