Following the quick answering of prayers to hammondc's original thread (found here), I feel compelled to mimic his successful post to ask for something that *I* have been looking for...
Marantz used to make a Music Server (DH9300) similar to what the squeezebox does but does so as a hi-fi component rather than via a computer (our computer doesn't stay on very long) ...
Well I'm looking for a stand-alone "VIDEO server" for video storage.. Not TONS of videos, mind you -- maybe 10-20 tops... I have no problems deleting less-watched movies to make rooms for new movies bubbling their way to the top of the list. This will be for most of the kids' favorite movies as well as a few of my own..
I'm not terribly interested in a dedicated PC for this type of thing, I would imagine that something more hi-fi comonent based would consume less power and make less noise (discussions of 'slient PCs' aside), and more importantly, be much simpler than building a dedicated HTPC and teaching my wife (and myself) how to use it.
Simple sometimes really is better, even at the expense of features. :thumbsup:
In my best hammondc voice, ( :D )
Am I dreaming or what?
thanks!
