Noel,

It depends how you want to store your media.

The techie route is PC / Hard Drive storage but the simple / cheaper
route would be to still run everything in the analogue domain and use
a Kat5 or AV Nex - Nexus system.

At the moment the Kat5 MkII can only offer point to point / multi
point and the Nexus offers a full switching matrix. Both transmit over
CAT5e so that will give you a good format to up grade with in the future.

If you want to go digital storage and transmission from day one then
for reliability you are looking a ethernet switches (see debate about
10/100 and gigabit) and a RAID of hard drives to provide hardware
redundancy.

Chris
