    MyMovies Server

    Looking at building a new MyMovies Client/Server system, with a dedicated Server.

    Would people recommend using Windows Home Server as a good base for the Server section as don't really want to have to setup Win2K3 Server and then have the issue of streaming from it to the MyMovies Client.

    Will have a proper RAID card so don't expect to be using the Drive Extender for the storage.

    Cheers

    WHS is basically a tweaked 2k3 SBS server with an out of the box web frontend. It's as good as any for a simple home server dishing out media.

    I wonder if there is any point in WHS or 2003 for home use as Windows XP Pro will do pretty much everything already.

    Looking at building 16 disk raid array and big collection ripped. Just don't fancy XP/Vista handling that sort of size database

    some of us last longer than 10 minutes

    5 women a day, the server will fill up over a couple of years easily if using uncompressed video
    plus you lose a bit of space (possibly 8 drives if raid 1)
