Note: Thread is no longer maintained by me. Click here to visit my new server thread if you have any questions.
This is my home server, it is mainly used for storing Blu-rays/DVDs and streaming content to my popcorn hour or any other device in the house. The popcorn hour supports all codecs (DTS-HD, TrueHD, etc) and also can natively play ISO containers without having the user manually mount them, making it easy to watch everything in my home theater. I rip out menus and extras using DVDFab to save space, however I still leave the main movies/episodes in ISO format with no compression. Average movie size is roughly 23GB.
Any questions, feel free to ask.
