(Hint, hint...) I've only just got a SB3 (wedding present from my Dad), but I'm planning to build a box to do all my ripping and serving for me. Idea is you just feed it CDs, it rips it and spits it out - needs to be fool proof enough that my wife and kids can use it - current thoughts are around, Linux on an ITX box, but still playing and learning right now. -- Andy D Andy D's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6091 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25168 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: Will There Be a SB4?
I'm no audiophile so while I can appreciate the Transporter, it does nothing for me and I wouldn't buy one even if I had the money. I got a SB3 because I want a simple (ish) way to have decent sounding music throughout the house and get rid of all the CDs that clutter up the place. What I'd like to seek is a SB with built in amp as the Sonos ZonePlayers have, clock and radio would be nice too. This is just my 2p's worth - everyone has opinions...

[slim] Re: Administer Linux from XP Pro?
For the odd occasion you do need to plug a monitor etc in it might be worth getting a remote admin board - AMI MegaRac, Peppercon Eric etc. - they're not cheap but occasionally come up on eBay for bargain prices. Basically they allow you to drive the machine, edit the bios, reboot etc. remotely - some allow a remote CD too. -- Andy D Andy D's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6091 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25891 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
[slim] Re: My recipe for a cheap Slimserver
If we're talking legacy hardware, other things to consider are the slimline PCs e.g. Compaq ipaq, and slimline evo range. Problem with some of them will be the lack of large hard drive support - the ipaq will only support upto 120GB for example -- Andy D Andy D's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6091 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25892 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
