Home Server Show #33 and #34 – Jim’s Been On Vacation

HomeServerShow I’ve been out skiing a bunch and got a bit behind.  My Friend Dave however, has been very productive producing the Home Server Show Podcast.  Both show #33 and #34 are now out.

Show #33 (Click it)

In show #33, Dave goes over your choices as a new Windows Home Server customer.  If you are thinking about jumping into the WHS game should you build one or buy one?  If you build you have several different options you should consider.  Weigh these options vs. the Windows Home Servers that are already boxed up for you.
