[QUOTE="ZombieHunter, post: 1314742, member: 5791"] I actually do something a bit more complex and intuitive yet still very simple, Led Flat Panel < PS3 ( For Media Server and Blu-Ray!) < Internet Router < Mac Pro Tower The Mac Pro is used for mass storage and a program called Medialink talks with the PS3, from their it is a matter of putting the ONE folder Marked "Movies" or whatever into Medialink and BAM! you have everything you have "downloaded legally" on your ps3 streaming, seemlessly and clean interface and browsing of everything, everyone might not need it but for me with over 500 Movies and Lord knows how many TV shows on over 2 TB of hard drives it is the only option. Recently have been thinking of installing a Mac Mini in my Suburban for a Carputer to go with an Ipad. For long trips I think it might be nice to be able to sync up and have more than the allotted amount of movies any one Ipad could handle, that and it would connect to my Stereo Head Unit and I could stream from the computer to the car stereo at the same time, all said and done its looking like $1k will get me the whole shebang (already own 16gb Ipad) including wiring and custom made mounts for the mini to go under my Center Console with a Custom door to access DVD drive, I am getting the mounts made and the center console modified elsewhere, all Install done myself.
