Home servers are the way forward
If you are looking to streamline your music, videos and pictures then investing in a home server is a great way to store all the things you normally need loads of shelving space for.
Having music and videos on tap so you can watch them in any room is a great and easy way to manage and store your prize collection. Gone are the days of having to carry around a large collection of CD's. More places are realising this including luxury self catering cottages who find that guests really want more.
Harddrives have really come down in price now, with a terabite now costing less than $100 to buy. This means you can store 1000's of songs and films cheaply.
There are companies now out there who specialise in home servers and media management, you can even tie it up with your lighting and heating.
