    I guess Hell froze over... Archos comes out swinging with Froyo

    Ha, of course I just bought a 7 earlier this week to keep myself entertained when away from the desktop. I'm liking the new upgrades to the 7 model though, I'll probably be going for one in a few months, or maybe downsize to the 43.

    If I go more than 2 HDs I will use external SATA ports on a PCI card and make an external enclosure for the drives. 1TB sounds like more than I would use for quite a while so I think I'll be safe for a few years with just that, at which point I could probably get a used mini ITX bored that...

    Its like a 5 dollar difference. I was thinking 7200 because of access speeds, but when sending everything over a 10/100 network does the difference between 7200 and 5400 rpm become negligible? I can see where the power savings of the 5400 rpm green drives would be beneficial as well.

    For 200 on the nose: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148240 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856119023 Unless there's a reason not to go with any of those.

    I guess I missed the board first time through on newegg. Now just a waiting game on my stuff to sell.

    I want to go with Mini ITX. I have very little space to work with. Power consumption isn't my main cost factor, its more cost to build the system. I want to stay under 200 for the whole system minus HDs. Originally my budget was 100 before harddrive but that doesn't look feasible. As far as...

    I've heard for years buy XYZ expensive power supply, and I've used some of the cheapest and nicest stuff around and they both have the same fail/success ratios in my experience.

    that barebones server doesn't seem as good dollars wise, I can get the atom board for ~80-90, a case/PSU for 35, RAM from my desktop, and a TB HD for under a hundred. At a little over 200 I'd be done instead of just starting with the barebones.

    If you were able to do transcoding with the atom it sounds like it will be more than enough muscle for my needs thanks.

    I'm still not sure on the 140 since I'd have to pick up DDR3 it seems. If I go with the atom I could just take one of the 2gb modules out of my desktop(I have 8gb now which is probably more than I'm realistically using) The atom D510 is looking good right now, although it does put me at about...

    I'm looking to build myself a small and power efficient fileserver. I'll be running a small very lightweight linux distro on it with little to no GUI. I'm looking to hold in the neighborhood of a TB of files, mostly movie(non HD) and music which I will need to stream the file, as some of the...

    Handy Laptop Invention of the Day

    5 years ago, I had a 14 inch HP that fit perfectly into a leather folder/traper keeper thing that zipped up... I guess I should have sold it for $$$ when I got rid of the HP

    4870 just died...Whats decent upgrade ?

    Agreed, set the cash aside now, and add a couple dollars each week the card survives. By the time it actually dies you will be able to upgrade to a lot higher tech.
