I had looked at a barebones Opteron system with a gig or so of RAM and the slowest CPU i could find, 5x 3.5" to 3x 5.25" hard drive cage and a 5 port SATA RAID controller. Depending on drive size this could easily be done for under £1000. And then you have a decent file server you could use for all sorts :) -- funkstar ------------------------------------------------------------------------ funkstar's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2335 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24428 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
