The thrid machine is a terabyte server with 1.7TB of storage (for the video). The fourth machine stores (and serves) mp3s via 4 200GB Seagate 10K drives. The last machine serves video into our home theatre and controls the lights, curtains, shakers etc. The kitchen can a Vaio all-in-one, and each bedroom has a PC. Each PC can watch time shifted TV at any time, simultaneously. They can also look up the programming schedule and decide what to record (SageTV). The living room also has a gigabyte feed with a Media MVP which feeds the 64" TV, again for timeshifted TV, movies and mp3s. I'm pretty happy with the setup, it's taken a year to design it and get it all working nicely
