I'm not Dan, but part of the confusion may be that you asked if you need "a PC" and the answer is either "no, a Kuro box will work" or "define what is a PC" since what you really need is a computer running a supported operating system. The box doesn't need a powerful CPU and nearly any modern OS is supported. Win XP, 2K, Mac OS9 & 10, Any Linux, etc. People talk about running the SlimServer on Tivos. Or on NAS boxes, which are supposed to only have disks, but actually have a CPU and linux in addition to the disks. The SlimServer must run on a computer. Not much of a computer, I bet someone has hacked a Xbox to run it. I ran mine for over a year on a free PC that a buddy gave me, stuck down in the basement so I didn;'t have to hear its fans -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
