![]() You really need to identify what it is you hope to achieve with a HTPC/NAS? Sorry, I am not as familiar with the available newer tech as some on the forum, but I can share what I learned in case it helps you. Not sure if this is clear to you but Kodi is available on multiple OS. ![]() ![]() Could anyone elaborate and maybe point out some advantages of a HTPC or a NAS as opposed to what I currently do? I don't know if im missing the point, but I guess I don't really see the advantage of building a whole new PC to do what I already do. But the downfall is that some lack power to stream 1080p or higher bit conversions. NAS sounds like a good solution, where I could always have my data backed up, could use it technically as a cloud storage, and always able to access my files from other locations. There are a couple of options I am looking at, either get a NAS (QNAP TS-451 or similar) or build a small HTPC out of decent parts (i3/i5, gpu, 8gb ram) or build a HTPC + NAS. I also have a 2TB HD full of music, mostly 320/FLAC used with Foobar/Itunes. Mostly 720/1080p Bluray rips w/ Media Player Classic. What kind of advantages would I get from building a HTPC? All I do now is use my TV as a second screen to watch movies or TV shows that live on a 3TB HD in my PC. ![]() All of the audio already goes from the PC to the receiver. I have had my PC connected to my receiver & TV for the past few years and have always just used my TV to watch movies located on my PC. I am considering building my own HTPC, but I am pretty clueless when it comes to this area. ![]()
