I have an old desktop - Want to make media server. How?

How do I turn this desktop into a media server that will house all my music, videos and downloads and all access from every computer in the house (all on wifi).

And how can I allow the other computers to not only access it, but control it?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

It started as the XBOX Media Center, but has grown from there. Now will run on pretty much anything. Easiest way to go about it.

http://xbmc.org/

Here's their flickr stream for some screenshots of the UI.

MythTV is nice, but XBMC is as easy as it gets. I'm pretty good at this stuff and getting Myth set up and running took some trial and error.

XBMC works right out of the box.

Windows 7 has a super sweet media center built in that allows connections from PS3, PSP, iPod, Xbox, PCs ...... and is totally FREE to try until March 1, 2010.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win.../download.aspx

This is actually the first Windows OS that has begun to excite me since Windows 95 ... (but yes I am still a linux man ...)
