How cheap do you want? I suggest you look at your local craigslist and just buy a working, used PC. Compression takes a while, so just allow for it. Once you have the used PC, just use it as the Slimserver and use your laptop to control it. Depending on your taste and experience, make sure the used PC includes Windows, or install a Linux distro on it. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
