How are you using unRAID Server?
limetech:
We would like to get an idea of how people are using their unRAID Server. Among other things, this will help us prioritize future product development.
If your primary application is not listed, please let us know what it is and we'll include it in the list. Also feel free to elaborate in a post.
Thanks!

I primarily use it to serve up videos/pictures/music. I have a WinXP PC connected to my HDTV and unRaid server in another room (office). Everything is connected internally via cat5e Gigabit.
However, I also store backup data on unRaid. I have found it to be a very nice alternative to USB external drives, or NAS storage devices.

I choose other HTPC since I use both XP and Vista. I also use it as a backup for all my data and storage of my pictures. With a soon to by USB HD sitting in a safe offsite with my important data on it.
musicmann:
Although my original and primary use is for digital media (HTPC) storage, almost as important at this point are file storage for non-media (e.g., central backup repository) and host for virtual machines (so I only have one always-on machine).

I use my unRAID server for both media storage and for data backups of the other PCs on my LAN.
I have a mix of Windows PCs (Win2k, WinXP, and WinVista) and several dedicated media players (AlTech MG-35's) that access the media.
I will soon be experimenting with Linux-Media-Center once I get some free time and the required hardware. The basic idea will be to still use unRAID for the media storage, and the Linux-MCE PC to deal with everything else, including the network booting of the MCE-Client PCs.
