"Seems a bit of a waste IMO to have 3 - why not combine the internet
gateway/firewall machine with the MP3 jukebox?"

Hmmm, some people just don't get it do they...

Can I just take this opportunity to remind people that, if you're
considering JReceiver as the MP3 jukebox software, please _don't_ run it on
the same machine as your firewall.

JRec is alpha, and should only ever been run within a secure environemnt.

Likewise, most of the Firewalls (smoothwall, Checkpoint, etc) would
recommend that you NEVER run other services on them.

Regards,

Mark
The Jreceiver Team

Marcus,

Seems a bit of a waste IMO to have 3 - why not combine the internet
gateway/firewall machine with the MP3 jukebox?
It doesn't have to do much processing as you will presumably be streaming
audio to players elsewhere in the house, so one should be well capable of
both tasks - and indeed the misterhouse etc functionality too...
I have a shuttle sv25 with a 1 gig celery in it as my MP3/WMA server and
it's not a bad bit of kit.  Am adding various other bits of software to it
over time as it's only ticking over....
The standard CPU fan that comes with them is a but noisy, so I used the one
that came with the Celery - which is fine as long as you don't want to
install a PCI card in the box - which I don't anyway.
The newer SV50/55(?) is much quieter apparently, and can take 'real' cpu's.
Either of the mobos should be fine for what you want to do - it's just a
question of which processor to go for......
Can't comment on DivX as am not into that, though I expect the beefier the
better really....

HTH


Tony
