hi
I have a athlon 64 machine upstairs in my room . it has a videomate tv card that i record tv programs on to and a gigabit ethernet socket. the recorded mpeg files take up about 3Gb per hour (ie dvd quality) recorded an analogue signal. i would like to watch these programs on my widescreen tv downstairs but currently it takes about 45 minutes to burn 1 hour on to dvd-rw, which i will probably only watch once anyway, and dvd-rw dont last forever. i was thinking of building a thin client (pc without a hard disk) with a spec similar to the following. via eden motherboard (fanless cpu option) and a case with a fanless psu, maybe even an old laptop off ebay. anyway my question is [finaly i hear you say
] is my 100Mb lan up to carrying / streaming the mpegs or would i need a gigabit nic in the thin client and link the two machines directly, could always put a 100Mb nic in the athlon to connect it to the lan .
thanks jc

Bart: isn’t that the wrong way.
Homer: yea but faster.
