I would be using decent small footprint PC's with high end Nvidia video cards 
have to admit to not being a great Apple fan 


I had thought of gigabit ethernet for the distributionas getting the wiring in 
will be very easy using 2 or 3 gigabit cards on the server and as many 
gigabit switches so each one is only lightly loaded .

What would you say for the back end box   i was thinking along the lines of 
AMD 64x2  8Gb Ram  300Gb Sata for the system then a few Tb of NAS storage for 
data / recordings  , Then there is the question of the DVD Play side what 
drives are there out ther that can simultainiousley(SP)  play say 2 or 3 DVD 
films or is it a case of multiple single drives ?
