What hardware / OS should i go with? The setup: several users who want to stream junk from client to client and from internet, torrent, and have crazy fast Lan speed for moving massive work files around. Right now a asus n-16 with ddwrt just can't handle the load. It locks up and needs a reset...

Looking great man. Really nice work. Can you link where you scored the pci-e extender?

Kyle you speak as though your readership of "enthusiasts" has no interest in HTPC-type and/or home file server applications. Also consider that some of us actually care about idle power usage.... and sometimes underclocking is just as important.

Got a link to the ones on ebay handy?

Thanks! That solves that. Sheesh now i should probably send one last PM explaining why i flooded his inbox.

love amd processor bang for the buck

I gave up. This appears to be one of those ideas that looks great on paper but doesn't translate well into reality. Found one laptop locally but quite lackluster specs and over $900. It's still feasible if you bought a laptop a couple years ago with a pci-e port, but not if you don't already...

Is there a quick way to tell if laptops have expresscard slots? I'm trying to pick one out from newegg / tigerdirect etc, but there's no mention of express card slots on any listings. I've done research and found some "lists" of laptops with expresscard but the lists are either cryptic, out...
