ok I'm new at this media serving crap but I'll tell ya what..I built my own media pc and is small and I stream 180 movies and beyond media is flawless....

so this is the way I went...(and you dont need a ton of high end equipment)

amd 2400xp mobile chip with asrock board all in one 109.00
desktop case small 39.00
256 memory 39.00
wireless network card 29.00 ( on sale)
old 5 gig drive to put windows xp home addition
and beyond media

now compusa had a sale ( all the time )
ati video card with hdtv for 49.00
and a cheap 6.1 sound card 19.00

DONE

then I bought naslight from server elements 19.00
took and old comp from the basement (amd550 )
the only extra thing i had to buy was the hard drive space
thats where this is good......staple always has maxtor drives on sale
so 4...200gig drives 69.00 ea. after rebates (and i did get the rebates back )

i use dvd decripter put movies on drive and play

so for about 550.00 you have almost a terabyte media server with player

now for all the technical questions.....ive tried 5 different media servers
pinnacle show center 200
actiontech
linksys
dlink
pinnacle show center 1000

all had problems with glitches and sound

returned them all because you need a comp to run them anyway so why waste time

oh and by the way to run windows media center also is not compatable with alot of low end equipment so i got rid of that too.....lol

so anyway naslite is the best ....this is the nuts
thanks to sever elements and snapstream for 2 awsome products....

now if the 2 could get together and design a program to boot beyond media on a nas light server I would buy it and sell it, because i do own a small computer buisness

so thanks guys my movie watching is GREAT!......................................
