I have used OpenSolaris on the NAS and XBMC as the media player, and it works greatl. See:
http://breden.org.uk/2008/03/08/home-fileserver-zfs-setup/ and http://breden.org.uk/2009/05/10/home-fileserver-zfs-file-systems/ and http://breden.org.uk/2009/06/20/home-fileserver-media-center/ For the HTPC, media client computer, the NVidia ION platform looks good, running Linux and XBMC. ASRock ION 330 + Linux + XBMC = A nice reasonably priced HTPC This small, quiet HTPC based on a low-power Intel Atom 330 dual core processor, running XBMC on Linux looks like it should be a nice little Home Theatre PC. It uses the NVidia ION graphics platform and seems to have sufficient power for displaying most types of video. Price around £250 / €280 / $350 as of October 2009. Includes 2 GB RAM and a 320 GB internal hard drive, but as it has built in wired GbE, this gizmo will hook up to your NAS and act as a video client. Looks good. Add a USB infra-red receiver dongle and remote control and you’re set!
