I did see a LAN enclosure at maplin for £35 or something. Said it would have to be formatted in FAT32 for LAN use. Will this give me any negative effects, slower maybe? Do these LAN enclosures work fine with XMBC, i would imagine so!

Been thinking about getting/building a file server, tired of having the computer on when using XBMC. Plus I would like to start backing up my music, lost so much over the years from reinstalls. I'm wondering what would be the most power friendly option: HD in LAN enclosure old machine running freenas(been thinking about this since i saw it in the show) old machine with full O/S (Like a guide i found on digg, like the extra functionality i.e torrents!) either of the previous 2 but new DIY machines (using older components, mainly been thinking about this for reliability reasons) Cheers http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/bu...ur_own_server/1 (Link for the guide i found on digg!)

Hello guys, been a long time viewer, just never got round to signing up to the forum. Yes, unfortunatly, I am a noob, but not at everything and certainly not noob mentality! I know when to search for the answer my self, after google is my friend, almost a forum moto around here! But, for this question google did not help, so I thought i would ask here, and also say a quick hello. Right, I have an spare Netgear Wireless Router and was wondering if there is a way to use that to connect my Wireless Network, i.e the Other Netgear Router. I already have a belkin Wireless USB Adapter so I dont really need it, but just curious. If this isnt possible, if anyone knew anything else i could use this for. Cheers
