Homegrown Wireless Media Servers?

Posted by Cliff on from the a-true-set-top-box dept.

blurg64 asks: "I am about to move into a new house and am keen to be able to stream my mp3 collection out to my stereo. With all of the new media servers out there such as the Squeezebox, cd3o wireless network player and even HP's Wireless Digital Receiver offering, I was wondering if any /. readers had any tips or experiences in building a cheap wireless media server?"

  1. Use mini-itx for the server by herrvinny · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Small, fast, efficient music server. Just plop in a massive hard drive, decent motherboard, etc, and you're good to go. For software, just run an old version of Windows, pop a good streaming music server on (Icecast maybe? Heard good things about it).
