[Closed] How do I set up a PS3 Media Server?

You cannot setup the PS3 as the server. But it does have a DLNA Client built in so you can access media on a NAS.

... or do you mean a media server that the PS3 can connect to?

I know if you connect a HDD directly to the PS3 it neeeds to be formatted as FAT32, is that the same for a NAS drive?

If you have a PC with Windows on it, then Windows Media Player can act as a media server for your PS3. You can set it up using the Stream tab at the top of Media Player window. A DLNA NAS will do the trick nicely too, capacity is up to you really and the file format shouldn't matter.
