+1 why on earth would I want a server in the hifi rack , my server resides under my desk in another room . I'm on to for a player as guniea pig :) I'm quite tolerant re awkward setups and bugs .and I can follow instructions read electrical drawings and assemble stuff ,solder skills are a bit rusty never tried SMD components ,but solder some cables and put the thing in a box , no problem at all. I have an mobile eds kit so I would not have problems with components sensitive to static . ( I used to repair frequency converters and DC drives for a living ). It could run it as digital transport or analog in the kitchen or if a hdmi implementation is ready I could try out hdmi . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
