There's also Windows Home Server, which does everything you're looking for I believe.

Here's a list of features from the wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Home_Server):

windows home server is the best microsoft product in years that they don't market too well. I don't get it.


Yes. I do this, although I also use a dedicated HTPC by my TV. A little expensive but gets used all the time and I can stream Netflix, Hulu, watch a movie in almost any format including Blu-Ray.

I've looked into alternatives, (PS3, dedicated media players, etc, etc) but nothing else has everything I wanted.


What do you use as an HTPC (Hardware, Software)?


Do you have to pay for WHS, or is it only available through various companies when buying a server?
