I am trying to use an external hard drive that is connected to my AEX as a media server for my PS3. Is this possible? I also have a desktop pc that I currently don't use, is there a way to use is to make this whole setup work?
Connecting a HDD to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) by itself will not make it a media server. Instead, you will need either a hardware or software DLNA-compliant media server to do this.
As an example, I have the following setup:
In this configuration, I have a software media server (Twonky) that can access the media files on the WD HDD and stream them to the Xbox 360. In turn the Xbox connects to the audio receiver. You can just as easily substitute the PS3 for the Xbox and a PC for the Mac and basically do the same thing.

HDD->AEX->PS3 via wifi?
