My personal list of things to avoid when setting up a PC audio server...

Locating the PC in the listening room.
Having my PC equipment and my stereo equipment on the same AC circuit.
Electrically coupling the audio system to the PC.
Using lossy formats for the music library.
Using an internal HD as the playback source.
Not having my music files backed up.
Using the PC analog outputs or inputs.
Streaming my music wirelessly.
Streaming my music via USB or firewire (probably controversial, but it's the way I feel for now).
Running anti-virus software.
Having less than 1gig of RAM.
Kmixer.

That's it for now.
