The only thing with that is I don't need a DVD or CD player... I've
got a DVD player on my stereo and a 5CD changer. All I want is an MP3
box, but I want it to connect to my network so I can take advantage of
the HDD... They do have a nice DVD/CD/MP3-CD player that is a decent
price (about $240CAN), but it doesn't have a built-in HDD or network
connection which I kinda want. And that $240 compares to:
SB16 PCI ($40)
Wireless keyboard/mouse ($75)
Can of black spray paint ($5)
Total cost: $120
And that's all I need to buy. The P90 I got free, Mandrake 7.2 runs
well on it, it only does 640x480 but that's ok, I've got a spare
monitor and the 10/100 NIC is spare too. This way I can NFS mount my
14GB dedicated MP3 drive or pop in a CD. And it costs me half of that
other unit (nice looking tho!). I did see an MP3 player for the car
there that I might get tho... =)
