These days you can almost go everywhere and get an internet connection, whether it be wireless or 3G connection. Some are migrating their data over to the cloud so they can forget about worrying about their files and info being "here" or "there"...it's everywhere. A new computer and few minutes of sync...
Pogoplug
This is a small server that stays at home while you stream all it's content via an app you install on your iPhone, so you can be watching movies and listening to your favorites tunes in no time. You can leave your external hard drives at home. We love that in just 60 seconds, the Pogoplug connects your external hard drives to the Internet so you have full access to your content at home. Be it videos, photos, presentation files or your music library, you can broadcast and share your digital life with ease from wherever you are.
The Drobo Cloud Server
This personal server from Data Robotics, stores lots of files externally. The small black cube is loaded with up to five HDDs, and they all work in tandem to keep your files safe. Data Robotic’s new Drobo FS does the same thing through the Internet cloud. The DroboFS features the same five-drive setup, but the device’s only input is an Ethernet port, like a server, so you don’t hook this up to your laptop. Your files can be viewed from PC, Mac, or Linux machines through remote access. An application called Oxygen Cloud provides easy and secure access, and using the DroboFS with other cloud storage companies is also possible. The DroboFS is now available for $700 with no HDDs included, or at varying higher prices with the drives.

True Greek Recipe: Paximadi Bread Salad with Tomatoes, Feta and Capers
I tried PogoPlug for a while, but it was annoying have to convert all of my videos and the connection never seemed stable. Which was annoying because it was plugged straight into the router. I love the idea of it, but that product wasn't so great in my opinion.
Once I made the switch to internet-only TV, I made my TV computer (a Mac Mini) do double-time as a web server. I have a Drobo (not the one pictured, I have the vanilla USB 2 one).
I share select folders as password-protected web directories. Being a web developer helped me in this department, reducing my dependency on third-party sharing solutions.
I handle all of my music with Subsonic, a fantastic way to put all your music in the cloud without all the restrictions of the existing cloud-based services out there. (Bonus: It also can handle most movies as well.)
Anyways, just my $.02.
Working also on the same goal it's a small investment,but it will pay in the long term.Also giving access to close friends my movies and music completely clutter free of Cd's and Dvd's
I started using "Tonido" the other day. It lets you use your home PC the same way, but doesn't cost anything. I just used my old desktop and threw a couple of extra drives in. Still playing around with it, but seems pretty good.
