    Crap...can't remember the exact spec of the processor in my HTPC media server, I think it's a dual-core Phenom. Other than that:
    • 4GB RAM
    • 3TB RAID for storage
    • Linux-based operating system.
    • Two TV tuner cards
    This server is linked to minimal-spec frontends on my TVs in other rooms.

    Officially, I don't have one.

    I am building two as of right now.
    Two years. They were great. Let's make the next ones even better!

    I don't have one atm, but once I get a TV (whenever that happens) I'll be building one. It'll be an extremely light-weight one, as small and silent as possible, with (like all my systems) a small SSD onboard, connected to my fileserver for storage. Unfortunately, atm I think it'll probably be running Windows in some form, just because of the state of Linux Blu-ray support.

    Not to mention no Netflix with Linux. Netflix uses MS Silverlight to stream the videos.

    Have you tried the Moonlight plugin? I've had varying degrees of success with that and things calling for Silverlight. (Have not tried it with Netflix.)
