I've been browsing the FAQ's etc in this section for a bit, but I'm still curious as to what I can do and a general way to do it.
I've got an M4N78 Pro sitting in my closet, has on-board video, 8800gs I believe. I can pickup a Semperon or Athlon for it pretty cheap, and I've got 2gb of ram for it I believe.
I've got (3) 2TB WDC Greens, 64mb Sata 6, that even though the board doesn't support Sata 6, these drives make the most sense to put in it over the mis-matched 1TB's I've got.
Everything else for it, case, Corsair 400w etc.
Basically, let's just say I've got:
Let's say I want to:
What I assume I need via searching:
I've got an ATT U-Verse modem/router that also serves the land line we have. I have a PF-Sense box setup, but can't use it I don't think with U-Verse because of the Phone Line?

Basically, let's just say I've got:
- Dual core AM2+ PC
- 6TB of storage
- 8800gs
- U-Verse fiber as my provider
- Digital collection of Blu-Rays
- A PS3.
Let's say I want to:
- Store the Blu-Rays on the 6TB, and watch them on the TV
- Also watch the Blu-Rays on any computer on the network
- Record the same shows that are currently being recorded by the provided DVR
- Still be able to watch TV or my recorded shows on other TV's in the house
- Store other media and non-media files for other computers on the network
- Slide shows of pictures or other home-made movies created on networked PC
What I assume I need via searching:
- Dual tuner PCI card, like the Hauppage or w.e. with the IR Remote
- Possibly some PCI card from ATT that they come install in my PC?
- Install Windows 7 Ultimate to do all this? Maybe even Windows 8 since the UI might be more "friendly" for this type of application?

If you wish to play Blu Ray on any other machines make sure it meets hardware requirements
