I have been having my Squeezebox for about one month now and I am totally in awe of that. I listen mainly to Internet streams but I also have a respectable collection of some 5.000 Mp3 collected over the years. My server is a big powerful noisy machine running XP Pro. My next logical step would be getting a dedicated Squeezecenter server. Also I would love the ability of going 7/24 P2P with a silent / low electrical power consuming machine.
Browsing through the forum I have seen that many, probably most, of the people with same requirements came up with a NAS of sorts, QNAP, Synology, Netgera or the similar. It strucks that for about the same money (say 300 to 400 Euros) you can buy a dedicated low power silent or quasi silent PC. TranquilPC and many others. Wouldn't that be a far superior choiche from any stand point ? - Same low power - Same low noise - Same money (ballpark) BUT - Way more processing powerful - Way more applications - Way more open It would seem to me an automatic choice; one that would out all NASes out of the market. I think I am missing something here. Could anyone advise ?
