I was actually thinking that I'd install it on a USB stick, so I could easily modify the installation on my laptop in case the networking fails. That would also eliminate hard drive noise.

Or have it boot over network or using CD-ROM to reduce the noise and power-consumption..

It’s _very_ close to zero when watching movies from the harddrive – I don’t feel the slightest bit of lag. But for some reason, when playing DVDs there are some issues… Not latency, but more like glitches in the sound… It’s like cut up…

But I’ve disabled NAS for now, since it’s somewhat unstable, at least here (my server crashed 3 times in one day because of it!). So in order to prevent more crashes I’ve disabled it again untill I either find a solution or get myself a dedicated media-box.
(I’m thinking of building a mini-mini box for sound only. Doesn’t need more than a small hard drive, a soundcard, a network interface card and a mother board…)

How is the latency?
I’d imagine that sound on a movie would be somewhat out of sync..
