Looking for advice... SS is currently hosted on an old laptop which is showing signs of imminent failure. So I need to do something else. My criteria/issues:
(1) Music currently resides on a NAS, and the music will stay there, at least for backup purposes. My only point is that the new host for SS does not have to have great storage capability (although I have no particular objection if it does) (2) I am uninterested in hosting SS on that NAS or any other NAS, and I don't mind keeping the new host on 24/7. (3) Noise doesn't matter. The host machine and NAS reside safely in my basement away from listening and living areas. (4) Cost matters. I really want the minimal system capable of hosting SS (or SC) well. The host will be hardwired into a G wireless network. Form factor matters a little. The smaller/more unobtrusive the better. (5) My basic thought is some cheap PC box with no monitor that I can use some other computer in the house to administer remotely. SS is pretty much the only thing that will run on it. But I'm open to other suggestions. (6) I was inspired today by David Pogue's article in the New York Times about the new XO laptop http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/04/technology/circuits/04pogue.html?_r=1&oref=slogin . Too weak to effectively run SS? -- jfalk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jfalk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6929 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38988 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
