Thank you Snarlydwarf. I'm using a NAS (500Mhz / 256Mo) and i'm quite happy for the moment. But, as my library is growing, i experiment some real or potential issues or limits with my current server hardware: => Streaming and Synching FLAC streams on several players => Transcoding on the fly some "non native" streams (m4a for example) => Scanning a big library (very time consuming) => UI ergonomics (responsivness) when browsing and searching a "big" database, using CustomBrowse plugins to deal with classical music specific organization. So, i'm thinking on the best hardware (small, silent, powerfull, secure, and reliable) to use. I'm glad to share opinion and experience to refine my "specs".
