Fishing for some advice.... My 'garage pc' just fell over again and as the slimserver machine that's really annoying, no music! Some hardware/power failure this time which I may not be able to fix.
So I start looking round on ebay to buy another 5 year old beige box and use that as the server. Then I thought how about an old mac, as a recent convert to OSX, I am impressed, and was thinking maybe even old macs will be well built and won't fall over. So which is more reliable (and will slimserver run?) a no-name beige pc or a powermac G4 (400Mhz or so), as I can get both for around £50 from ebay if I look hard enough. I think I can cram in the IDE hard drives I bought for my 'server' in to either. I haven't been able to find the minimum requirements for slimserver beyond OSX 10.3, but I did try. Am I just trying to justify another Apple purchase! -- sdevans ------------------------------------------------------------------------ sdevans's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1867 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39312
