![]() ![]() I store all my media on a 750 gb Firewire 400 drive, connected to a MacBook Pro and streamed to an Apple TV. The iMac has a Firewire 800 port, allowing you to 'daisy chain' multiple Lacie Big Disk Extreme+ drives together to produce many many TB of storage (you could probably get up to 10 TB before things would start to slow down, although this would be pricey. You can RAID array external hard drives together, producing many TB of storage. The AppleTV is an absolutely brilliant Media Centre (and competes with anything else I've used, despite it's £199 price tag). I have the HTPC or go my own way with another product if I ever give up on the PC based HTPC. One of these + a MacMini or iMac + an Apple TV would be pretty cheap, and work brilliantly.
