Actually, I'm in the process of building a music server; I own 500+ CD's and a shithouse of audio tape. I've gotten to the point of NOT listening to my music because of the volume of discs and tapes I have just makes it too much of a hassle. I bought a dual Pentium server with an on-board SCSI controller; using the on-board controller, I can run up to 256 hard drives; not that I would ever want to, but SCSI is the best system for transfer rates, the drives tend to last longer, backups are a cinch, and my preferred O.S. (Debian Linux) LOVES SCSI; I have an old AT-style case that will be the hard drve encloseure: I'm looking at the possibility of a wireless connection to my audio system, and there's a jukebox application for Debian that can sort 9000+ discrete audio files. It's called "gronk"; if you're interested, do a Google search for it; all-in-all, if you're willing to run Linux, a system like mine is fairly easy to setup.
