Reader Reviews
I'm so glad that I've purchased this book. I didn't need to purchase HP MediaSmart server. I saved $500. This book showed me how to turn my old PC into Windows Home Server and opened my eyes to home automation. (big plus for me) I've got 3 PCs, 1 notebook, PlayStation @ my home plus CCTV. If you have more than 1 PC @ home this is a must read. Book is well paced and easy to follow. It has full of useful information. Windows Home Server Bible, Amen.
