Since you've chosen LMS on Squeezeplug, you might have concerns about power consumption. That was true for me as well, when I was about to decide which kind of server computer to use a few years ago. First, I considered using a NAS as the server. But then I decided against it, to be sure that my system has more power than LMS will probably ever need. I've built up my own PC from selected components, configured it to go to standby after some idle time and the SB players are waking it up when they are accessing LMS. This resulted in a silent system comsuming reasonably low power, of course not comparable with a plug computer in this regard, but with much more computing power on the other side. And I can use it for other tasks in parallel. In the meantime there are many computers on the market that are probably even better than my home-made system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ reinholdk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36070 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97440 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
