seconding Pat. buy a cheapo system like the one of the ones listed here http://www.geeks.com/products.asp?cat=SYS
Considering your stated needs, $200 actually sounds *high* for what you want. put ubuntu on it, hook up external HDs via USB, install slimserver, run it headless in a closet, and be done with it. The only thing that a NAS is going to give you over this is lower power consumption, but it's going to be frustratingly slow, esp. at the price point you are interested in. good luck, #!/ben -- bklaas "the Nokia770 skin guy" http://www.last.fm/user/bklaas/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bklaas's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36385 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
