As You have already figured out Yourself, the best SB server might just
be the computer You already have :-)
Personally I used to think I need a NAS, but ended up using our
desktop-replacement laptop with Windows 7 and WOL (wake on lan) - works
great.

Well, I've been very happy with my QNAP TS-239 for the last few years
(running 2 x Tb). It works well as a media server, back up system and
running 2 x SBR and one SB3. I just upgraded to LMS 7.7.1, and very
pleased, no problems (I uninstalled SBS7.5.4 and SSODS first, then
installed a unified

No because LMS stops it going to sleep if any players are active. Be

Yep, works well too. Players don't even have to be playing, just on
and the PC will not sleep.

Dear all,
Just a quick thankyou for your suggestions. I've been doing some
thinking, so I just thought I'd let you know my conclusions.
