    Problem not in price but convenience and availability. For big cities public transport makes sense, services can be frequent enough and still have some load on each bus/tram/you named. For suburbian life public transport is just not an option, density to low. This is why it work in Taiwan. SO choice is between in living in human ant hill with public transport, or live in decent conditions and drive a car.

    Do you plan to compress video ( which generally already compressed format) when saving to remote location? I do not see use case for it, as you ether use lossless compression and not compressing it in any meaningful way, or just re-encode to different format and loose quality. Second option is simpler to achieve by re-encoding before sending out.

    I'm looking for hardware for my new NAS. Is there any Intel CPUs which support Quick Sync and ECC memory at same time? And is there any MB which semi officially supports ECC? I usually use AMD CPUs for servers, but any AMD CPU with build-in video does not support ECC. And just to prevent ECC holy wars - I need ECC. :-) And adding GPU to AMD system is an option but I'm trying to avoid it.
