My New Home AV Setup
I moved home back in June to a bigger 3 bed flat from my old 2 bed flat, where the 2nd bedroom had to double as guest room and my office. The extra bedroom is now doubling up as my office and a games room/2nd reception when my mates come around, which means we can [...]

Windows Home Server Power Pack 1 Beta Starts
Although there has been a very well publicised data corruption bug with Windows Home Server, I haven’t suffered from it and my WHS experience has been fantastic and I recommend anyone who has more than one PC in the home and significant home networking needs to consider WHS.
Microsoft are planning to fix the data corruption [...]
Coping With A WHS Hard Disk Failure
I haven’t written a lot of posts this week as I’ve spent most of the week trying to recover files from one of the hard drives in my Windows Home Server that has stopped working. I have several disks in my WHS machine, and if any of the other drives had failed I wouldn’t have [...]

KeepVault Unlimited Backup Solution For Windows Home Server
I’m a big fan of my Windows Home Server. Being able to access all my files located centrally on one box that I can easily access with other PCs in and out of the home, as well as having a good local backup solution has been amazing.

XBMC Coming On OS X And Linux. Plus, I Need Advice With New PC Spec
I’m a big fan of XMBC, the great open source media center for Xboxs. But, I stopped using it over the last 12 months because my needs had out-stripped the capabilities of the Xbox, which can’t support native HD content. Because of this, I now use PCs running Windows Vista Media Center [...]

WebGuide Addon Available For Windows Home Server
I’ve had my Windows Home Server for around a month now, and although I’ve been very impressed with it, there are two areas where it could be better.
The first is that it can’t act as a Media Center to record TV, so that Media Extenders can be connected to it. I’m in the process [...]
HP Announces Low Cost Media Vault Servers
I’ve been dying to talk about the HP Media Vault Server, ever since HP showed it to me in October in a workshop. This low-cost NAS server is a linux based alternative to more expensive Windows Home Server boxes. In fact, that meeting with HP was the inspiration behind me deciding to build [...]

Windows Home Server Review
Over the last 2 years I have amassed a quite substantial media library as I have ripped all my CDs and DVDs. The problem I have in sharing this media collection around my home is that no single machine within my home has enough storage. An even bigger problem I faced was creating [...]

Building A Home Server Part IV
My shameless begging for a copy of Windows Home Server has finally paid off and I’m in the process of installing it as I write this post. I knew that somebody would eventually send me a copy!
Over the last couple of days I’ve discovered some problems with my NASLite installation that has made me decide [...]
