So I read a lot of this tread and just had a general question, as someone looking to get a media server but does not want to get bogged down in a lot o technical detail software or hardware wise would you all recommend just buying the latest HP Media Server? Or a different line of pre packaged servers?

HP or Acer, both are decent products and WHS2011 is stupid simple to setup and maintain

Any specific model, Amazon has the HP EX495 but it seems expensive but I can not find other models. Is this the model the group thought would recommend?

I'd go with the Acer Revocenter currently on promo for $260

HP seems to have moved out of the home server market and switched to letting their proliant micro server series support WHS. So you'd be forced to buy a server, a copy of WHS2011, a drive and then do the install yourself.

Thanks. I will read some reviews of that Acer model, but it seems like what I wanted.

edit: Clarification so I can install PS3 Media Sever on to this Acer system?
