You can use your current computer in pretty well any room and stream wirelessly to your main system using either a Sonus or Squeezebox. Lots of satisfied people doing this, I haven't made the leap but have been reading up on it quite a bit lately. The Squeezbox is $300, Sonus a bit more. Best, Jeff
Help for a server on a budget.
I would love some input on doing a server setup that sounds good and is cheap. Over the years my disability has gotten worse and I think its time to devise a way to load my digital collection (or a chunk of it) onto a server to make it easy on me as mobility is more and more an issue.
Trouble is Social Security doesnt pay much so I gotta be very very budget wise.
Can anyone steer me towards a good sounding setup that I can run into my main systems preamp. I do have a spare PC and monitor I can use near my system or my main laptop but I suppose a decent storage size and hard and software is where I really get confused. In a perfect world being able to stream might be fun but if that makes it pricey I can scrap that idea.
nothing fancy but good sound is key, please help me if you can. Thanks and Happy and safe Holidays! Chad
