Re: [slim] Does SC run smoothly on an Asus eee Box?

I'll throw my two cents in and day that I'm amost positive an EEE Box would work find for a SC server. I've not used an EEE Box, but am running Squeezecenter on a very underpowered rig: mini-ITX platform with a VIA Eden fanless 600mhz CPU, 256mb RAM, WinXP, and a ton of hard drive space.

I see your point. The problem is that both the eee Box AND the squeezebox is placed in the room next to my router! A way around it could be to totally avoid internetnet connection by connecting the eee Box directly to the Squeezebox by using af LAN Patch cable! Offcourse one would loose the

I also have an MSI Wind PC that seems to be the best SC7 server I've had. It has the same basic hardware as the Asus PC (no wireless, larger footprint). I run CentOS Linux and have it configured to automatically suspend during inactive periods (uses only 2-3W when suspended) and resumes when SB
