[QUOTE="Ramshackles, post: 212785, member: 61980"] Let's say I currently have a server and a NAS (the server has enough room to spare though). In a perfect world I would want the smallest size client I could get to be in my livingroom, what exactly is needed hardwarewise to be able to do Full HD? My plan for the time being is only to rip the dvd's i watch a lot (series etc) and all my CD's to the server and play those on the client, but I'd like to be prepared for HD content aswell. I've been looking at mac mini's and [URL="http://eu.shuttle.com/dk/desktopdefault.aspx/searchcall-12/searchcategory-283/noblendout-1/tabid-171/310_read-13782/"]shuttle mini X 200M (configurable)[/URL] Would they be able to work? I know it might be hard to add a blu-ray drive to the mini, might be easier with the shuttle. But these are the kinds of thin clients I'm after, Aopen makes nice stuff aswell but quite a bit more expensive. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
