i dont understand your confusion...

Not confusion, just surprise. Why not get a 3g router, so you gain a wifi network in the process.

Also look at mediacompanion to download metadata, which is stored in the actual movie/tv folders (you never lose it).

I might be wrong but if I'm not mistaken, OpenElec has SAMBA file sharing disabled by default. Easily solved by simply turning it on via the menu.

Samba is on but only shares Disk 1 iirc. The other drives need to be configured in the config file. SSH is off by default...

And when you share content with other ppl?

Which for legal reasons I obviously don't. :D

But if I did, all of the metadata is in each file's folder. That's the difference between exporting the database as a single file, or into their respective, separate folders...

The government bud. the government! I hotspot usually but have the dongle as well. Maybe I can share the dongle connection connected to the laptop. Found a cheap router at scoop but need assistance since you need to be a dealer. So for now I have to mission with what I have.
 
So reasons for and against a 5450 vs GT210/GT520/GT610?

I ask this primarily because there is only stock of the 5450 and GT210 and I'm wondering if it's not better to then take the 5450 (which I know already from my current OpenELEC box) or wait for GT520/610.
 
Dudes one question.. Im planning on installing OpenELEC-Generic.i386-2.0.0 later this afternoon on my N40L BUT im scared that I'll run into the same problems Im currently having with XBMCBUNTU 12 Beta... Every time I reboot the system.. My 3 int hdds dismount themselves (I mounted them with Pysdm to stay mounted for obvious reasons) but they keep on dismounting themselves!!

Now my question with OPENELEC is does it auto mount my additional INT HDDs out of the box, or will I be experiencing the same crap where I'll have to jump through hoops to keep my HDDs mounted?

P.S. It seems my SuperSport plugin is no longer working on the new XBMC, I still have to go and see if I can fix it. Still have it on my iPad XMBC and Android though, so not totally at a loss.

dude can you give me the link to this supersport plugin?

Cool. Did not know about that. Anyway, I still prefer mediacompanion - lots of cool features.

It was a while back when I was in Ubuntu with XBMC on top (not XBMCBuntu). I had to setup auto mount in the startup settings. It was like one command line that you had to type up.

On openelec, as far as I know the default is that all HDD's are mounted at boot. (I've never had to mount anything, even when hot plugging in an external hdd).

The Asus GT610 does not fit, the heatsink is too large. I got the Asus EAQH6450 which fits: http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/AMD_Series/EAH6450_SILENTDI512MD3LP/

You can share the dongle connection if you're on Windows 7 (create a virtual hotspot). This is quite simple - see connectify (although you can do it without a program). You would just then need a wifi dongle on the microserver to connect to the laptop hotspot.
 
Well I got a HD5450 in my system and it runs EVERYTHINS AS SMOOTH AS SILK!

OpenELEC does automount to /media/UUID by default but naturally this could be quite tricky if you want any kind of consistency as I'm not sure the mount point will be named the same every time.

If you want to make it "permanent" you'll need to edit the /storage/.config/autostart.sh file and add the configuration permanently.

Mine looks like this...

sdb,sdc,sdd being three different hard drive.

Fourth being my network share on my NAS drive.

Code: 
#!/bin/sh
mount /dev/sdb /storage/music
mount /dev/sdc /storage/movies
mount /dev/sdd /storage/tvshows
(sleep 15; \
mount -t cifs //192.168.1.100/Public /storage/vault13 -o username=guest,passwor$
)&
