My girl is moving in and we'll have 5 computers that i want to network.
1 PC desktop acting as server with 10 1GB drives attached (i do video thus the silliness)
1 PC (for effects/sound etc)
1 PC laptop
1 Mac desktop (also for video editing)
1 Mac (sometimes for video editing)Two questions:
How to best network all those machines?
What's the cheapest solution for the server computer?

Is there one that you would recommend? (i assume this would be our point of enter for internet as well?)

so let me understand it.
If i get low end PC with firewire and connect all my fw external drives to that PC then connect that PC to the hub that connect to other computers... will that work?

wireless for video files will be too slow.....
cheap PC + firewire drives + hub is how I've seen it done....
