Media Server and/or NAS Solutions
So I recently saw an article on wired about suggestions for media server/storage solutions. I'm curious what everyones setups around here are for entertainment and storage, as well as any suggestions of things that work well or issues to be aware of.

in my streaming media server, it runs windows XP Pro and i use an Areca 1230, with 8 300gig hard drives in raid 5. i set the machine up so everyone has read access but no write access, so by default the xbox can connect and stream no problem. i can have more than 5 or 6 streams from my machine, mostly over wirelessG no problem.
before i got my nas i exploded my raid on my main machine, loosing pretty much everything, so i got the NAS to use as a backup for important data.
