I don't disagree, and am running a networked setup now but I am using older servers with SCSI drives and as such have six 74Gb scsi drives to put in this one, which will replace our current server(which will be switched to backup duty. I have /var/snd, mysql, and the CAE running on the server, airplay runs on a seperate machine, and production on a seperate machine with its CAE local. I like the thought of not having the audio leave the server for playout to air. the longer term plan is to replace all the machines with newer (SATA) hardware, but we are a non-comm that is just going on air so we need money coming in first. the curent servers were ones I had in my personal server lab not being used for anything important. long story short I just need this one to work for maybe the next 6 months...
