Just for convenience of having it all in one place. I currently use my Mac Pro for photo and video editing. I don't want it on all the time-don't need to waste the energy, but need to access the 1500 CDs I have whenever I want. So I'd rather have a main server for streaming music and video. I've looked at the ripserver solution, but figure its easier and cheaper to build something myself. Many of you have indicated the cost savings already. Like pfarrell said, I like to leave it alone most of the time. I've considered the mimi mac solution, but I've already invested in two 1TB drives, so I might as well find an old pc or mac to shove them in for less than $600USD. -- grrman Daily Gearhead ------------------------------------------------------------------------ grrman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16052 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47243 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
