I have my movies stored on a RAID 5 array on a gigabit network. I'm using the 'My DVD's' patch that will show the movie info and pic of the DVD case. This allows me to have a single access point for all of my movies from either of two locations in my house (office and living room). This really is the only solution with 3 little ones and mom at home during the day. This keeps all of the DVD's out of little hands and removes the mess of having a stack of DVD cases on top of the DVD player! ;)
