New to Amahi

Hi everyone, first off very impressed with what I have read so far with Amahi. What I am wanting to do is run Amahi on an old computer that has an 80 gig and 400 gig hard drive. Is it possible for me to use Amahi to stream movies to my x-box on my tv and use the server to do backups of my other pcs? Also I have read that it can be problematic to setup Amahi to not take care of DHCP, is this true? I ask that because I have been contemplating flash my router to use dd-wrt. Thanks for any help.

Yes, works for streaming. I stream to my PS3.
Yes, works for backups. I have 3 machines backed up.

DHCP is best to take advantage of Amahi features, but you don't have to.

DD-WRT is always a good idea!
