so i am here rethingking what is best for my home server needs, which also hosts of course the SC.
i know many here use venerable old servers that get a second lease on life as a SC engine, which is great. less polution and all. but since i use my home server for many things, i have a pretty powered up workstation. in use powersaving features, but it does stay on 24/7 and probably sucks about 65w in average, it uses the intel frequency adjustment and turns off some peripherals. i could do better if i had a more reliable sleep mode. so i could tranfer my components to a new mobo that supports the sleep mode more solidly so i can use the "wake from LAN" without having to run up stairs and act manually a few times a times a week. but for that the question is - would the communication between the boxes and the SC keep waking up the server all the time, or truly only when music is to be played? i have heard 2 different versions on that. -- pablolie ...pablo Server: 3.3 GHz Intel E8600 Core 2 Duo (8GB) - Vista Ultimate 64 (and formerly Ubuntu 8.10 64) Sources: SB3 (4), SB Boom (2), Duet, Accuphase DP65v CD Amplifier: Accuphase E306v Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tower tuned by Darmstadt Psychoacoustics Lab Headphones: Grado SR-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66641 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
