Okay. Fine. I have seen the light! $12,500.01 it is. Not a penny less! And to optimize the performance of this server machine, it'll have a 8GB vintage 10-year-old flash drive (because those were the quietest drives of course!). 2X DVD burner circa 2001 approved by some-elderly-tube-gear-maker-in-Japan, probably made by Creative. And I'll settle on a 1TB drive with no upgrades available. I know, 256GB would have been better (with less electrical noise of course) and probably would be fine for those who only listen to a few audiophile albums like 'Kind Of Blue', Diana Krall discography, 'Jazz In The Pawnshop'... On the software side, it'll just have to be stripped to the bone with our Linux install. Might need to wrestle a little to get everything to fit on 8GB flash (Vortexbox, LMS, caches...). Of course no other packages or extraneous background daemons; that would just destroy the sound quality. Dual-core Atom for netbooks would be good enough, anything faster would also damage the sound. And of course 2GB RAM is plenty. Add aeronautical milled aluminum fascia. Clearly: The. Ultimate. Serving. Machine.
