Streaming Media - Extreme Style!

I thought it would be fun to see how many movies I could stream/play on my PC using my Big Red Server as the source. I stopped at 16 or 8 per screen on my dual screen setup.



Even with all 16 movies going though, still plenty of bandwidth/resources left on the server.

It was interesting hearing all 16 movies at once!

I'm sure you can do this in other OSes, but the 'Show Windows Side by Side' option in Windows 7 is nice...

Also, here's an updated picture of EMS as of today:

  1. Nice showing off!

    But an even better show would be playing a couple of videos from *every* single drive! :)

    *That* would be putting the system to the test! :)
    (What would more likely "fail" first? CPU, network bandwidth, etc?)
