Thanks!!!
I will go with server option 1.
But for the intel HTPC suggestion(s): why did you add RAM and SSD to the NUC? Doesnt the NUC have everything it already needs to operate? Isnt that the whole point of a barebone PC?
I only want one HTPC.
No, I don't need 3D because my TV doesn't support it and I don't game. I just want this to watch TV shows and movies.
Yes, I like the wires gigabit client/server idea but the problem is that I'm limited because my home doesn't have built-in ethernet connectivity. And someone suggested outting the NAS near my desktop PC since that's where the router is but then won't that be loud while watching TV? From the video I posted, you can see that the router and desktop PC are still within the same room.

Since you also noted that you are going to get the source files on one computer, and then move them to the HTPC, I'd just setup a NAS and store it there.
That allows you to be able to access it from multiple places/devices/etc down the road.
Do you want to do 3D and other stuff like that?
I don't like having the media on the HTPC anymore, I like having them seperated. Having wired 1000MB from the server to all the clients (which are all 100MB) is great.
