media server

[karma]

well just about all my music now is in mp3 format. i had this old
cd rom server. and a mainboard with spdif out. with the serial ata and scsi setup i should get about 800gig or more. and good cooling to save the drives. there should be no need for a keyboard or mouse im using pc anywhere on my home network
to use the desktop. on the server.

3 hours just to set the mainbord sleeve in and tap all the holes to hold it down.

looks good so far

reset button hd lite power lite

left some room on the top for a floppy drive.

Is that a CDROM changer? How many disks can each unit swap?

I got a couple 250GB HDDs from woot for $50 each, and will shortly be combining them with a few old bits of computer hardware and a new CPU and mother board combo for $80 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813185065), and a wireless network adapter ($17).

This machine will be running linux and slimserver to feed 600+ CDs stored in .flac format to my squeezebox3. With a little luck I won't have to reboot the server more than a couple times per year. I'm going to put it in a closet or behind/under a desk and forget about it.

You'll like having the stuff on a server! No more hunting for CDs, and putting them back in order when you're done listening.
