Currently - as you see - is have split my Harddrivespace i two locations:
VDR and SERVER

Video0-6 = VDR
Video7-11 = Server

So i have a little bit load-Ballance (so i think).

I think i will not move the harddrives out of the Living-Room-VDR.....
And a Gigabit-Ethernetwork.... hmmmm 3000Euro for a Switch ... - no.... :-)

But if you all say that AMD works well with DVB-Cards and Linux i will do it so :-)
