> You can call me paranoid if you want.  My MythTV box is not just for
recordings.  I have many family photos, most of my music, and my entire
collection of DVDs in that RAID6 volume.  I also have it backed up, but not
physically in a different location. A fire would wipe me out right now.  I'm
mostly looking for short MTTR times as well as long MTBF.  My disk drives
are in a hot swap enclosure located in 3 of my 5.25" drive bays.  If I have
a disk failure I just pop out the failed one, install a new one and rebuild
the array.  I also have a spare PS as that is the second thing most likely
to fail.  I set this up many years ago and I haven't thought about changing
it.  Maybe I should.  All of my hardware is located in my basement directly
below my 52" plasma screen.  The only things that can be seen in the viewing
room besides the TV are the 5.1 speaker system, an IR to RF
receiver/transmitter and a few wires for video and audio.  I love showing it
off and it garners big wow factor to my guests.  I do love the MythTV
software.
