I want to build a Server for my collection of MP4,avi and mp3 files. I have over 6 Terrabytes of files I wish to share around my house.
I want to be able to connect 3 TVs (Lounge Room and 2 bedrooms) up to 3 Tablets via Wifi and 2 sets of speakers for mp3 playback.
I will connect the TVs via Ethernet cable to Raspberry Pi computers with wireless keyboard/Mouse combinations.
the speakers will also be controlled via Raspberry Pi computers - these ones will have 3 inch touch screens built on to the Raspberry Pis and have speaker outputs.
I expect to run the server with some form of Linux with a PFSense Firewall.
The Raspberry Pis will run XMBC
The Server will also be connected to my home PC to enable the transfer of files as they are collected.
My Hardware:
I have a PC Quad Core I5, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD plus 2 4TB HDD.
8Port Switch
WiFi ADSL Router
5 Raspberry Pis.
If anyone can think of anything that I am missing or suggest a better way of doing part of the process I would appreciate it
