you can't burn content to a boxee, plus it does not allow you to put in cable cards

Don't cheap out on the case or the drives. nothing worse than the whining of fans and drives while you're trying to watch a movie.

Its going into a AV rack in my basement, so there is already a pretty large amount of fans running to keep my equipment, especially receiver cool. I'm thinking probably 4TB or more of HDD space, and 500GB to backup core files... if I loose a drive full of movies, then i just have to sit there for a few hours and reburn them to the drive.
My main thing is being able to display content from the PC to other TVs in the house. The main output (hdmi) will go into my receiver which will go into my main tv in the family room. The rest will be streamed via cat6 cables ran through the house into a media box.
Any idea on the cost?
