Basically, he’s combined a Windows Vista Media Center and a Windows Home Server inside one PC enclosure powered by two separate mini-itx motherboards. In his setup, James also stashed in an Ethernet hub, two power supplies, and a handful of hard drives to boot Vista and backup his media. All in all, a pretty wild setup as you will see in the attached video.

I did almost the same thing, which when complete and successfult I'll post some info and picks, but I built an HTPC and loaded WHS on it. There's a few good Media programs that do better than Media Center (support for HD-DVR, etc) and will run on WHS. It's one machine serving a dual purpose. I also equiped it well enough (gamer board, Quad Core, 4 Gb, 6 Tb) to serve it's dual function and support Virtual machines if needed. This seems pretty silly.
