When I wrote my previous post I was looking more for ideas than help. My problem is that I'm not sure quite what I'm trying to do. At the moment I have it set up so I have to ssh into the box and it grabs the files off of a server. I guess my vision is to have a near silent pc with a remote and some small display that is used mainly for playing mp3's through a receiver. Really it's getting a remote and display working that's going to be my biggest problem.

I'm planning on buying a large hard drive to store all my mp3's locally on this box, and then serving any other computers on my network mp3's if someone wants to listen in another room.

I also want it to look good. I thought of looking for a old stereo receiver to rip apart and stick all the components in, not really sure how that would work, my computer building experience is pretty limited, but I guess it might be worth a shot.
