Advice please!
Current setup is as follows...
Windows 7 HTPC in the lounge. It's got 3 500 gb hdd's in raid5 for data redundancy, but I need to buy more storage regardless. It makes loads of noise and I'm sure being on 24/7 is costing a few pennies.
One of the first intel mac minis in the bedroom. Core Duo 1.6ghz, 2gb ram, superdrive, all that sort of jazz. Does 720p flawlessly, most 1080ps ok, but drops frames now and then.
Airport Extreme in the lounge with a printer + a USB HDD which is a mirror or the raid 5 array for when I turn off the HTPC and want to still stream video to the bedroom.
Macbook Pro (2010, 4gb ram, 2.33 penryn cpu I think? 13" model....)
This is the thought...
Replace macbook pro for either an 11 or 13" Air
Replace Mac Mini for an Apple TV2
Replace HTPC with a NAS (4TB ish) and a new i7 Mac Mini with the Radeon GFX
