Re: [slim] SqueezePlay for Windows with ASIO, DirectSound, WASAPI and WDMKS device support.

[slim] NAS/SBS software for old x86 laptop?

2014-06-09 Thread DrewSB
Hi all, I've been running a NAS / SBS on a Sheevaplug until recently when the SD card died. I also have an older Core Solo x86 laptop with 2GB of RAM. I was thinking of turning that into a NAS as it has a lot of advantages over the Sheevaplug, not the least being the convenience of a built-in keyb

Has anyone thought about using an Intel fanless NUC as a software player? http://www.fanlesstech.com/2014/04/intel-releases-its-fanless-nuc.html A bit more expensive than a Raspberry Pi solution, but maybe not extraordinarily so? And I'm thinking it would be more flexible, and maybe easier to tr
