A lot of the capture cards do MPEG encoding, so the backend just has to be capable of dumping the stream to disk, doing commercial flagging, and running the database. Just about any PC with a lot of storage would work. > NVIDIA's ION platform has a lot of promise, but it's (currently) > over-priced and all solutions with it in a small form factor are > currently extremely costly, completely obliterating the promise it has > as a viable extender platform earlier this year (it was easy to > predict). Newegg has a fanless ION mobo/Atom CPU combo for less than $120. You could put together a near-silent (or possibly even totally silent) front-end for well under $500. -- cooppw02 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cooppw02's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16712 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40689 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
