Media on networked computers

I have an older box that i think would go nice in my living room with Linux MCE on it.  My new computer, which has to stay in another room, has a huge RAID 5 on it (NTFS) and i would like to keep most of my media there.

How easy is it to mount a network drive to Linux MCE and use it as my primary means of storage?

I probably won't be using any DVR functions, just using it to play ripped DVDs and torrented HD movies.

It should be easy:
