Re: help with components for music server...

Posted by e_desilva on September 29, 2006 at 06:33:13:
Having just put together a new rig, I can understand wanting to build one... But, have you looked at the SFF PCs over at logicsupply? They are pretty inexpensive.
I use a headless Serener (now apparently called SolidLogic) fanless jobbie for iTunes music duty in my main system, and it also runs slimserver for some other remote stations... You can spec it out (or could) with NEC spinpoint drives--very quiet. There are a number of sites reviewing quiet PC components--try www.quietpc.com, I think? Anyway, good luck.
