We run SBS on one of our laptops.
We use WOL and it works fine. Most times the laptop is on anyway and if
not we just need to push powerbutton on Booms to wake laptop/server.
Duet controller is a little more tricky in the current firmware, it
does wake server but doesn't pick up on it unless you
If you are upto installing your own software I'd recommend that you take
a look at the HP ProLiant N36 Microserver and use this as a NAS. There's
a £100 cash back deal from HP in the UK at the moment meaning you can
pick one up for around £135. It's got foUr HDD bays (further expandable

Thanks pablolie for honest confession about responsiveness, which also
scares me ...
I am planning to buy QNAP TS-212 for SBS aplication (and also for raid
1 photo backup). Anyone has this device and can confirm that it works
fine with squeezebox touch without annoying delays ?
Thanks, elvis

yes, it is supposed to be, and for some (many) it may be.
But in the end, it is Linux, and a very specific version of Linux
without the full GUI most distros of Linux have today. So if you have
any issues you start needing to use Putty to login and write command
line code.

Or you could try something like a Synology NAS, for example the 'DS111'
(http://www.synology.com/products/spec.php?product_name=DS111lang=enu#p_submenu).
If you look at the download page of the product, they have a package
available for squeezebox. So it's not that difficult to set everything
up.
I have a QNAP TS-110, which was about the cheapest NAS that I could
locate that looked like it would host the SB server. There were
instructions on the QNAP site on how to install the SSOTS software and
the SB server. I wouldn't say it is for the novice, but then again, I
know absolutely

A NAS runs it own 'OS' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system),
so it isn't dependent on a computer. A typical NAS with 2 or more hard
drives can also run the drives in a 'RAID'
