+1 I use wol i have a dual core mini server the server and LMS is up in 2 minutes , so I boots in the morning WOL by my boom. I turn it of when going to work , and Touch any player when I get home , and it's running again , and I turn it off when going to sleep so it is actually only running 6-7 hours a day . Before I got a server I used my desktop with WOL and sleep mode, but it was a bit clunky and loud, but if your normal pc is a laptop why not ? It migth be the cheapest option of them all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=95276 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
