RE: Player without HDD

I'm aware of computers booting and operating entirely from a LAN. Not sure if this would be better as networking functionality is required thus increasing Windows runtime footprint. In audio, Slim Devices' Squeeze Box or Transporter would be good examples of such an implementation with connectivity via Ethernet or wireless. These are not memory players (due to limited 64MB RAM).

cMP setup has HDDs powered separately (dirty power). Only SATA data interface remains. This removes power supply interference from HDDs and doesn't require any Windows networking. Sound improvement from doing this is significant.
