It is easy and tempting to put bigger/faster CPU/GPU in HTPC, but no one wants noisy machine in living room. So,getting the optimal components is the key. | ||

I turn it ON only when I need, so boot times and app. launch times are important. Even with HD content, there is no load on CPU as GPU does the hard work. I would suggest, i3 with 4 GB memory, 80 GB SSD and a good Video card. SSD helps boot times and makes app launches quick (all my content is on server though). I am running ATI Radeon 57xx card which is almost obsolete these days. Anything with HDMI out which bitstreams HD-audio is good enough. | ||

Are you talking about one of the Iomega StorCenter products working as NAS, streaming content to Boxee hooked up to TV? | ||

Here is the ideal setup. Have a NAS with built-in RAID support and hot swappable hard drives. Load up the NAS with couple of hard drives and configure it to "backup" all your computer on home network. Let the NAS "catalog" and stream media to client devices. Depending on the NAS you picked there may be transcoding involved while streaming that puts load on CPU and demands more memory. For each TV in the house, get a streaming client. Examples: WD TV Live, Iomenga Screenplay, Roku, Asus O!Play, Apple TV etc. With these clients there is a hit or miss to playback certain media types. If all your content is in one known format, you can fix on one kind of client device. And then, there is HTPC which is the client device connected to primary TV. With HTPC, you can be assured of playing any type of media along with online content. | ||

Iomega Screenplay is a "client" that plays network media and outputs to TV via HDMI. This device itself is NAS. There are other offering from Iomega that are NAS products. | ||

Depends on what type of player you are using to stream from NAS. I use WD Live Plus..it works fine for almost all formats. full HD 1080p has some hiccups. Network read/write speeds is different issue - depends on your wireless router, router settings, what type of devices connected (a/b/g/n), hard disk speed 7200 rpm etc.. | ||

I have mac laptop and windows desktop.... Mac ki time machine laga backup teesukovatamiki... Windows desktop ki back up teesukovataniki.... On top of that.... Would like to use as itunes server... Ee synology nas ni.... Cloud laga ekkadi nunchi ayina access cheyyocchu ani vundhi.... That is also good for me.... Nenu choosthundhi basic ga normal features vunna nas anthe.....

you still not answered about features ??. the above para gave me impression that you are looking good data protection mith raid 1(mirror) but that reduces the storage space by half. for simple file server DROBO is best bet if you are looking for file server and dlna than synology is good. and if you want type of screenplay devices than that is bad choise .. Iomega scores here Hybrid raid is automated raid management .just a marketing term. it is useful for layman who dont have any knowledge about raid and disk management. if you can choose ur own raid no use of Hybrid Raid. www.TheLinuxDesk.com | ||
