I got fed up of waiting so have brought a small pc case, 250gb hard drive, XP Pro, 512mb, 1.8ghz processor, no cd drive. Doing things this way I'll have no issues waiting for Slimserver upgrades or installing any plug-ins. I have it plugged into the router in the spare room and then wireless to SB3 in the lounge. I have another pc on the network again with 250gb which I use to back-up my music. CD's are imported on this then transferred over the network.
I don't normally leave the (server) on 24/7 as it boots up in under 20 secs via the remote. The only issues are getting it to turn off when not in use, not such a hardship though. Best thing is I've procured a Toshiba Tablet laptop that I use to control everything remotely, works like a dream using the pen/stylus on screen. I can also download tunes, edit, then transfer them to the other pc's all from the couch. I was thinking of the Nokia 770 or a PDA but the limitations of both put me off, my solution although bigger was the way to go, even the girlfriend is impressed.
