As long as the old pc can take the big hard drive it won't be a problem for SBS if it's internal. In fact it's usually fewer problems if it's internal. But depending on the age of the computer, BIOS limitations may limit the size of the drive you can install.
As for running a Windows box headless, you could look into VNC. There are free VNC server and client software that I believe work on Windows. Overall a headless arrangement is much easier with Linux, so you may want to consider that route, even though it will require converting those WMA Lossless albums to FLAC. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74591 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
