I have a large (~3600) movie collection using 2 Escient DVDM-100's and 1 DVDM-300 and 9 Sony 777 Changers (3 per Escient). I am thinking of converting this to Request software/hardware. I would appreciate thoughts and comments on the group's experience with Request. Thanks.

I've never heard of it, until you mentioned it, but then again I don't keep up on these kinds of bundled solutions. I think you'll find most of the users in this forum are more DIY guys.

That being said, the ReQuest stuff looks cool as hell...but likely expensive. Probably nothing new to you though, because so is Escient. But again, I think that's one of the reasons we DIY'ers go the route that we do; 90/95/100% of the performance and interface, at 10% (?) of the cost.

Just out of curiousity, could you PM me any prices you may have uncovered for the ReQuest stuff? Looks like it also needs an installer, which is where they really soak you for the big bucks.
