PS3 Media Server - anyone use it.

I'm currently trying to set this up right now.

I have 2 external hard drives that I can put files on, but I guess I will need to get some kind of computer to feed this thing.

I might have to sit down with someone along with some paper and a crayon or box of them so this sinks in.

I guess this leaves me with some questions.

Can't I just use my PS3 as a computer? By that I mean can't I just plug in my external HD and play things thru there?

I only have a 40GB PS3, so its an old one. I'm off friday if anyone fancies stopping by.
