This is a whole house DVD/CD server and players. This thing looks amazing but I'm sure is a small fortune. Curious if anyone has one and pros/cons.

I currently have something that is similar, but not with the amount of capacity this thing has.

Thanks
Greg

pretty cool isn't it, but very expensive for the average joe; I know of a couple of systems with similiar features and pricing but the more reasonable priced units are mainly DVD management systems. What system do you have?

I use a NAS (networked attached storage) and an modified xbox to access the NAS for my stored music in loseless format. It can also play dvd's, access the web and more.

This is what the interface I use looks like http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=87054

I'd say it is a lot more than that. A windows MM computer can not handle 5.5 terabytes of hard drive storage in a redundant storage array.
