Hi not sure if this is the right place but here goes.
I am the proud owner of a two story 2500 SF. house. My son inhabits the north eastern upstairs bedroom and is asking me for help setting up his computers. He came to me with a list of materials and demands and I'm wondering if you can help me come up with a solution. He is 17

"Hey BuB i need a new computer/Entertainment set up!
My materials!
One Aluminum Macbook
One Diy Desktop Computer with Windows 7 (wireless card attached)
One 750 gigabyte hardrive (USB - external)
One iPhone 3g
One iPod Video 30gig
My Demands!
1. I want to take the videos and music I download and buy and store them on a network drive, wirelessly.
2. I want to access and watch/listen to this media wirelessly on both by PC and MAC.
3. I want to be able to, without too much difficulty, watch them on the television in the living room (I.E. Only one file converter or some such not a 10 step process).
4. I want to be able to store files to this network drive from both MAC and PC and recall from both MAC and PC (don't worry about the hardrive format i have "NTFS star" for my mac and can read and write to NTFS formats)
This is all! Help me or Ill tell mom you let the dog run away!"
------
Well thats it guys, its a birthday present for him but he likes the drama.
I need as much help as i can get.
My personal assests are the AirPort Xtreme i run in the house, my 1.8 dual G5 and my wife's iMac!
Help me do what i can for him since im pretty clueless on what to do!
