    USB Passthrough Xenserver for Virtual HTPC's

    I tried that with a USB3 2 port controller, seems to stop a linux host from booting right away. Going to try with a windows host maybe i will have more luck. Also going to try some emulated USB stuff.

    HTPC and NAS combo - is this a dumb idea?

    Just use XBMCbuntu on the media pc and create a mdadm array on the ubuntu box and your done. Simple and super effective, if you like more of a GUI you can install webmin to manage everything.
