i bought myself a new mini mac and was going to rip all my dvd's to the itunes library as you can browse all movies through your tv with an apple remote set up, but had second thoughts incase i slow it up by filling it up too much,

i know you can get a time machine back up hard drive so maybe its better saving on to this?

i have seen some home media systems where all the dvds are on a hard drive in the loft or bedroom and can be viewed on any tv in the house,
so wonder what every one else uses?

opinions please
