Building a Wireless Home Media Network Server

Extreme Tech has a great, comprehensive article on Building a Wireless Home Media Network Server. They explain system choices with regards to cost/benefits and performance, and also throw in a smaller Shuttle PC case as an alternative. The review contains a lot of great information about what good, cheap parts are out there, and where you could save money, and where you should splurge. They picked SnapStream as their PVR software after reaching many of the same conclusions I did. In the end, the systems come to around $1400, but if you are using parts from old computers, it's possible to cut that down quite a bit. [via gizmodo]

Use the parts from old computers if you can...it will be a fraction of the cost. Todd Lokken.

I found an article covering the HP MediaSmart Server which implements Windows Home server. It's something for those who don't have the time to build their own.
