I use my mom and grandmas computers as servers. I randomly map out folders on their root drives. I'll post a Visio later.

TV has built in internet so I could always stream, but no point in streaming if my build is close byand playing MVK files could be affected by my internet connection.

I'll update with pics but I currently have,
- 40" Old Samsung LCD
- Belkin Wireless N Router with LCD Display
- Slim PS3
- Boxee Box hardwired to Ethernet
- Comcast Box
- MacBook Pro that has all my data stored on it
- iPad to control Comcast via Xfinity app
What I'm considering...
- Netgear dual band router
- Monster power line, runs Ethernet through the wall!
- 51" pnd8000 Samsung plasma
- downloading boxee iPad app when it comes out
And to the dude with the Sonos, that is one gangster setup you got, I wonder how much you dropped on all that. I'm running a bluetooth adapter to my Bose Companion 2's until some Boxee does a firmware update to support AirPlay.

I need to get a new NAS, the WD MY book word edition is way too slow. I did end up getting the WD TV Live hub for the media room. The interface looks pretty sweet, automatically finds all the info for your video files including trailers. Also has a built in 1TB HD that can be used as a NAS, but again transfer is really slow.

[h4]Cloud Engines recalls potentially flammable Pogoplug Video[/h4]
By Joe Pollicino posted Jun 17th 2011 9:48AM
Looks like sharing videos over the cloud may be a risky task -- if you're using the box shown here on the left, that is. The Pogoplug Video hit the retail scene about two months ago, but Cloud Engines has already issued a recall after two devices nearly went up in flames. According to The Official Pogoplug Blog, the internal chip that handles video encoding can experience "thermal runaways" after long periods of use, which could cause the device to reach unsafe temperatures; this despite having a fan to keep things cool. The affected model numbers include Pogo P-11 through 14, and the company asks that owners get in contact to setup a return and refund. In the meantime, it also suggests that the units be unplugged -- a good idea if you want to avoid possibly burning the house down.
