All in all, very nice setup Bill, I have only one question..

955, 1200W PSU OCZ reapers, and you put a 210 in it? Why not 2x 295s lol


By the way, most of the stuff WHS does can be done in regular windows except the backup (unless you use acronis, or that TB software that I may be purchasing depending on how this eBay auction ends up) or the user interface you get with WHS. A simple concurrent sessions hack, lets me RDP into my HTPC without disrupting the logged on user, and administer the HTPC as I see fit, installing IIS would let me do this from the internet as well, but I do not really need that function. Although my HTPC is no longer with me (left it for my sister and her kids) so I should probably install IIS on it.

HAHA Neuro, all that stuff will be replaced

But you got me thinking... I can run a bot account for some online game on it

Yes a simple Win 7 or even XP box can do a lot vs WHS, but WHS does so much more so easly.

Just to try it out and see how everything worked I went over to Renee's wireless laptop, brought up the videos folder and played a movie, not one clitch and the WHS was in crunching mode at the same time.

Lots of add-ons for WHS that I have to start taking a look at and see whats good out there.

As for Kal I am having a fiber cable layed accross the ocean that will connect you right up

Hah hah. Nice, I have not used it since it was in BETA, and it was pretty rough then. I would have gotten into it but it seemed a little expensive when it first came out but it is pretty cheap right now. I might have to invest in something like that when I move.

Keep us posted on what plugins and stuff you use, or even what looks good
