i have something similar, a qnap TS-101 Network Attached Storage

http://www.qnap.com/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=67

it's plugged in to my wireless router so that any device in the house (nokia N95, Archos 604, laptop, Playstation 3 etc) can connect to it and view movies and photos and play music.

i got that one as it came preloaded with Slimserver that I need to play music using my squeezebox in the kitchen and bedroom without having to have a pc switched on.

very pleased with it all

 

thedaddie, that looks good - just such a shame that you've got all that storage sat there that you can't access from your PC without plugging in the USB. Would be nice if it had a network connection...




Unless I missed it

 

St3V3_C you're right, they only work as storage with a usb connection. if you want a network connection, you need a NAS like i linked to

 

i like the look of the squeezebox

 

the squeezebox is a lovey thing, really nice to use with the remote. the search and browse works beautifully.

only works for music though, no photo or video capability

 

Ive been wanting to get something like this for ages....thanks for the ideas
fed up of cd players

 

i haven't seen a cd for ages - they're all boxed up in the loft. whatever you do, make sure you have a backup of all your digital media as ripping it and tagging all your music takes ages
