Copy your media to it. Install LMS, Plex and FreeFileSync. Set power management to be "always on". Stick it somewhere out of the way but where you can still wire it to your router. After initial setup, manage it via remote desktop. Get a portable USB drive for media backup and keep it off-site. Or install a slot like this in that open bay and swap out a backup HD drive every month or so: https://www.amazon.com/Kingwin-Aluminum-Backplane-Enclosure-Optimized/dp/B01HIPVVTI/ Have used this configuration for years with no problems at all. The option with SSD is cool; not necessary if you want to save some money. Win 7/Win 10 makes no difference. Amazing you can get a rig like this for so little money. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apesbrain's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=738 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106312 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
