You know, that pico-ITX board (even a nano-ITX board) as well as a 3.5" HDD would fit very easily into a Transporter chassis.
If the second screen were eliminated you could probably also fit a CD-ROM drive, possibly even full-size. If the internal electronics were downgraded to Squeezebox specs and the knob and maybe the buttons were dropped, it could compete price-wise with the Olive units. It'd be far more powerful because it could serve as a SlimServer for other players. It'd also be much more open. Run it on DSL much like SlimCD - all you need apart from SS is samba and a method to upgrade SS. I probably wouldn't be interested in it, but based on the interest in this thread and in the forum in general there does seem to be a demand for it. In the past I've downplayed this idea but the Transporter chassis looks like it was made for this purpose... -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34696 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
