Is there some reason it has to be a SheevaPlug? One can buy/build a dedicated Music Server from an Atom MB and 30 Watt case running Vortexbox OS for very little money and if purchased have a turn key server or just adding the Vortexbox OS to a DIY be up and running in well under 15 minutes depending on internal hard drive size. And do all the mods one wants with all the power and speed that is available from a larger CPU. Don't get me wrong, the SheevaPlug is and makes a great little SBS Server. It requires a bit of setup and some routine maintenance over an Atom/Vortexbox based SBS Server from the posts I have seen. Another question would be is your stereo system revealing enough to hear any difference from installing the mods (if the software mods even produce any as my testing so far has shown not the slightest difference, but I'm not finished yet and still hopeful for something)? -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80430 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
