Hey Everyone,
I'm looking at putting a client in our bedroom, but I need to make it as unobtrusive and quiet as possible. I was looking at building one in a Silvertek LC19 case, but my wife is not convinced by the size of the box ( nor the cost of what I was thinking component wise if the truth be known ).
I saw one of the Eee Box ( EeeBox specs ) machines the other day and I think this looks like it may fit both budget and WAF as it can essentially be hidden behind the TV. I don't need any HD capable hardware at the moment, so I thought this may provide a good stop gap until we upgrade the TV.
Is anyone using one with MP currently, or does anyone have any opinions on this machine? Will it have enough grunt to stream video and live TV from my server? I'd ideally like to be able to stream everything off the server, including my Foxtel connection, but I'm concerned this box may not have enough processing power for it.
Thanks in advance -- Stuart
