I have seen some incredible good C++ code. Not arguing that it can not be done. Just saying Perl is easier and faster to write good code.
As for a low power, quiet machine. I have a HTPC that handles Blu-ray that only has only 2 120mm fans that are dead silent. This machine also has 2GB of RAM. SC will run just fine with 512MB of RAM and I bet you could build a Linux machine and get it to run on 256MB if you forgo any windowing environment. But why bother, memory is not going to add loads of heat or power consumption. Making it run on a NAS? Well from what I have seen of many of the consumer NAS products out I would not use them for file sharing much less a media server. They really are built with the lowest quality products in mind. Not just low spec, but low quality. You can easily slap together better gear for about the same money and use one of the many free opensource NAS packages for the OS. All while still keeping it quiet and low power. -- m1abrams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ m1abrams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=850 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50698 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
