We are deciding whether or not to get a windows home server. We have on vista pc connected directly to our router through lan, on pc connected wirelessly to our router, and two macs(one leopard and one tiger) connected wirelessly to our router. Should we get a Windows home server for backups and file sharing, or is there a better alternitive.sorry, ONE vista pc and ONE XP pc
 
HP MediaSmart Server EX470 This is a great home server which will allow file sharing and back up. This is not however an application server. Read more here:http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/notebook/notebook_hp/home_servers/1/accessories/GG795AA%2523ABA
 
Put a Linux as an alternative it would require much lower memory and configuration. Try thesehttp://www.videolan.org/vlc/streaming.html also i think geexbox supports UPnPhttp://www.geexbox.org/en/index.html
 
The cheapest way is just use some old PC nobody uses anymore as your server to store files and such. It doesn't need a lot of power. The MS Home Server thing is kind of klunky.
