Since I'm an IT guy

I already had a capable quad core i7 Win7 box that I use for many tasks. I find that LMS software is stable and requires little in the way of resources. I already had a network infrastructure with three access points as I work at home. So I need to reboot the server every couple of days. No biggie. I do use iOS devices, however, as both players and remotes to other players!

I don't fall into the "tweak-the-crap-out-of-the-OS" category you find with dedicated setups. In fact, all I did with LMS is carefully configure it for a minimum of add-ons and gave it medium CPU priority. It serves the Touch player in the main system via ethernet (runs up built-in bookshelves in the office to attic and into listening room).

Vinyl is nice, but having all your digital music instantly available across multiple kinds of players around the house is addictive. LMS also serves movies to a Roku2. Its really cool being able to dial up any of your movies for watching, too.

I'm a vinyl guy, too having grown up in that environment and have two tables - one purchased new in '76. Having said that, I just purchased an HRT ADC and plan to rip some of my vinyl to 96/24 for more convenience. :)
