Title: Looking for a media server.
Post by: soopahfly on January 20, 2009, 13:11:24 PM
Dont want another PC in the house, all I need is a box that has 1 or 2 HDDs in it, along with the ability to FTP from the internet and be DLNP capable.

Any suggestions?

EEE Box?

Mate has one set up as his Server.  20W power drain aparrently.  Though fro extra space you do really need to add in USB caddies, there is no space to add a 2nd HDD.

Good idea.  I think shuttle do one that can have 2 hdds but they are only 2.5"

This could well be the mutts nutts.

Supports everything, has DVB tuners, will play P2P (if anyone watches P2P football), etc.

Very tempted to get one myself.
