I have been an HTPC "guy" for the past few years and would probably never go back to standalone players. With that being said, the time has come for me to build/design my own media server. I'm a movie nut and would love to have EVERYTHING online (I have a ton of stuff on disc). I'm just curious about some of you guys with media servers. What type of movie collection are you sporting online? I mean do you have thousands of movies available at any given time?
I'm currently running about 8TB out of my HTPC and have about 1000 movies online. That is with 2 Sony Firwire changers (both full) so if you take 400 dvd movies out of that, I have about 600 or so on hard drives. These are ALL hd (HD-DVD's, BLU, etc, etc). I would truly LOVE to NOT have another disc laying around but I have about 80 HD-DVD's, 60 Blu Ray discs and about and couple of terrabytes of HD movies stored on disc.
Do some of you guys store keep almost EVERYTHING online?
