Using the on-board video, but the machine is running headless on a shelf
out in the garage. You could run it with no video card however.
I either use SSH or the FreeNas web interface to manage it. I had XP
running on it before but found that FreeNas was much more stable and a
lot faster. I guess

Hi Goodsounds. Not sure e
Glad to see I'm not on unchartered ground :-) I used it all last night

I do have an SSD system but it's running my phone system not SC. I have
almost 1TB between audio and video so it will be a while before there
is an SSD that can hold my collection. I have an Atom box with a 1TB
Western Digital Green Drive. It uses about 20 watts running full power
and you can hard
I have a shuttle K45 with an OCZ SATAII SSD (30Gb) and a 1TB WD green
drive. Running FreeNAS 0.69 and SC 7.4. I set the WD to go to sleep
after 15 min and turned on the acoustic settings.
The OS and SC are on the SSD, FLACS on the spinning disk.

:-) I opted for a cheap OCZ SATA II model 1SLD30G. Newegg had about
40 user reviews on it and it seemed safe and at $79 how could I go
wrong. My little Shuttle boots from a dead
