Hi, as everyone else lately i have been thinking the same. Been considering NAS VS standalone PC. but now i am leaning over PC as it costs less, faster perfomance, and less effort (NAS requires hacking).
I am planning to get one of those old box as server (no idea how old is the spec perhaps PIII ? 256 RAM ?) any suggestion guys ? the server will be used only for store music and video that i would access from my laptop in the living room, and serve slimserver nothing other fancy features. i have seen those quiet and small PC form. it seems nice and might be the solution. however i am wandering what OS to install (i have windows xp tweaked edition with minimal driver installed (only 64RAM require) i also have no exp of LINUX although it seems interesting to play with. I only have small collection of MP3 perhaps around 30GB-50GB. my question is will this plan work ? am i better with windows of LINUX (requires me to learn) also how about monitor and keyboard? i hate to place and old looking box with monitor in my bedroom. i was planning to hide the box (forgetting the keyboard, monitor and mouse of course) somewhere in my bedroom Thanks guys for any solution -- thoeng ------------------------------------------------------------------------ thoeng's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6704 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25892 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
