[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11580"] I am just starting to get my HTPC project going and need some advice on the hardware I have lying around. I know the minimum process requirement listed is 1.4 GHz. I have a server case with dual P3 1.13s 1 Gig of Ram and a SCSI-3 160 back plane that will take 5 hotswap drives. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether this set up with the proper capture cards and so on will work or if the 1.13s won't be fast enough. I'm sure a few of you are already starting to think to yourselves about the size of the case and you are absolutely right it is enormous. But with redundant power and cooling and so on it would make a great back end. Which is my second question, has anyone found a way to serve content to a remote front end either with a COTS product such as Netgear's wireless digital media player, or with another solution. Thanks for your help [/QUOTE]
