I have mine installed on an HP Media Smart server running Windows Home
Server.
it was awesome to just install the software and be up and running in
minutes, since all of music was already stored on the box.

I currently use the ASUS EEE Box as my Squeezebox Server and it works
fine. I do plan to move to a Vortexbox soon though to take advantage of
the ripping features and larger capacity.

Re: [slim] Good Server Hardware Option

2010-02-06 Thread pablolie

i run SBS on an Atom 330 myself, because I was tired of keeping the 70W
(at idle) silent server always on. I run Linux Ubuntu on a 330 powered
Shuttle X27D, and SBS runs well after some installation frustration. The
little server never draw more than 26W, and it is surprisingly
versatile. I now use it all the time for web cruising and 90% of day to
date duties, I only now have to turn on the big machine to run the more
heavyweight Windows Office Apps.

I can recommend a 330 based SBS server. 

Oh, my music collection is external. The server is very lightweight,
just runs off a 32GB SSD, which of course makes it very snappy when
booting, and further increases power efficiency.

[slim] Good Server Hardware Option

2010-02-05 Thread jimzak

Based on my experience with the Atom platform, this would seem to be a
great piece of hardware to serve as a SB server:

If you buying a new system you might want something with a larger then
160GB hard drive. A system that can support an internal 3.5 hard drive
would be better.

Yeah but the system is only 219.00$ after rebate. With an external
drive this would make a fine low powered SB server.
