I DJ with my squeezebox, and I'm trying to build a portable system.
Portable means light weight hardware, small server, slow disks, etc. So
I'm in a similar situation - I have to have low-spec hardware in order
to have low weight.
Moreover, as a DJ, the sound can't stop. Like, it's not an option.
Never. So "minor annoyances" people talk about where the music stops
for only the merest second or two - those are the stuff of nightmares.
Sounds like you might be letting a less-important consideration
(portability) interfere with a more important consideration (viability).
What's wrong with a decent laptop chassis (say a T41, $500-$1000 on
EBay) and a 100GB 7200 RPM internal drive ($300)?
