Running xbmc windows home server

I built a WHS system with six 2 tb drives. Plenty of storage thus far, right at movies on the system. I have two 's in the system. All in all, it works well. I have had the 's for a while, not sure if something newer is better for the playing of the movies, but I have been happy with my WHS build.

After building it, I have built my last two computers. Will never go back to buying a computer out of the box - easy to build and get more for the money my opinion.

It depends on whether you want to roe the Dune signal to multiple TV's. Look at the Dune like a DVD player. Since the release of our software for iPhone and iPad, we have had many requests for a Mac OS X based software, which many of you will be happy to know is currently in development, planned for a first release during the summer.

Compared to the PC version, the Mac version will be created with more focus on a graphical presentation of the movie collection, as Mac users at least initially will not get a front-end such as My Movies for Windows Media Center for presentation. The software will be released in two steps - the first version will allow for collection browsing and management of the movie collection, while the second version will operate with media stored on hard drives and storage devices, and will store meta-data for third party software and media players similar to the Collection Management program on PC.
