setting up the perfect iHome

Guys.

I have a siuation. I am looking to get rid of my Windows machine in the garage which is a Dell Precision 390, with 4TB of space. I have been looking into NAS but i really dont know how they work or are set up...this is what i currently have in my house.

My room >

connected via ethernet:

1x iMac
1x XBOX 360
1x WD Live TV player

connected via wifi:

1x iPad & iPhone

Lounge >

1x PS3
1x WD tv player

Office >

1x Windows PC
1x Windows Laptop
1x USB Printer

Others >

2x Blackberry Storm
1x iPhone 3GS
2x Windows Laptops

I currently use my 4TB Dell for storing Media, Movies and Music. I have shares set up, so all computers in the house can access as well as my media players (WD Live TV / XBOX) etc.

2TB is dedicated to Movies & TV
500GB - Music
500GB - User Data
1TB - system drive / partitioned with other sections.

I use logmein to remote into the computer and kick off downloads via PB and Vuze. Once downloaded i transfer the completed files into the correct shares. This is all very drag and dropped. So this is very like just being sat in front of the computer. I have thought about a NAS but its web interface and other features frighten me, as i think i will loose the ease of use i get with logme in

I stream a lot of the data via my WD Live TV....

What i wish from my iHome - is to be able to remote into a machine tucked away somewhere, so i can kick off downloads / Manage files, shares etc from anywhere. Like i can with logmein

Share data between any machine on the network via shared drives.

Stream movies and music from it via my WD Live TV.

Also to Archive data i have been working on, video + photo. as backups from my external drives connected too my iMac
And to set it up with Time Machine also.

what do you guys suggest? If you need any more info let me know

 

i have been reconmended this one click me from one of the guys here...i just think the abilitiy to download "torrents" will be taken away ?
