I wonder why? Could tossing a bunch of complex electronics into the same box as the DAC create problems? So perhaps throwing in a more powerful CPU and such wouldn't improve sound quality... > > and you misread what i wrote... the laptop is of the WRONG kind of > form factor and type, and is just too much for my purposes. You have two wishlists: one is for a SB/SS-all-melded in one (including a color display), and one for a remote with a color display.... The laptop provides the same functionality as SB/SS-all-in-one.. open it up for the nice color display and set it in your rack. The $449 model at wallyworld even has SPDIF output. The remote is a seperate matter. > > i am really interested in the nokia stuff bpa posted. i'm gonna really > check that out when i have time to sift thru it deeply. They N770 can be had for around $130 now. A bit slower than the N800 but also substantially cheaper. It does make a nice remote... but that is not the SS/SB-all-melded thing. It is a remote. You can have a couple gigs of music on it and pretend it is an ipod... But it isn't a squeezebox and despite having perl installed you would not want to run Slimserver on it. It is not exactly fast. I love mine, but it has plenty of limitations. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37279 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
