Just curious. I took a spare, four year old Shuttle computer laying around. 1.6GHz processor, 2 gigs ram, with two 160GB disks. Nothing special, but this is the old Zen line which is very quiet (external brick power supply).
Anyhow it's got windows on it, I installed SS and my music and it's running flawlessly. No configuration, no wasted time. It also has a CD reader and EAC so it's the complete solution, and dedicated to serving, ripping, and holding my music. The beautiful twist is that I have it suspend after an hour of no use. If it's down when I try to listen a WOL packet wakes it right up. If it's turned off it's the same, and up and running in less than a minute. It's low power, quiet, powerful, cheap, upgradable, and easy. Why mess with any of the boutique NAS solutions? -- danm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ danm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12578 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37416 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
