sounds impressive to me... although I won't be buying one as it is too much $$$ for me

I wonder if this will be quiet, or if it'll sound like a whiney laptop fan

I used to have a p3 - 733mhz (might be 766mhz) machine on my network that can record and serve full HD. I recorded OTA signals from my antenna using an internal PCI card. In trying to lower power usage, I've since updated my "server" box, but the physical act of recording and/or serving this media d...

Can you play the video outside of GBPVR in something like VLC (which should use its own codecs to pay the video). I haven't played with GBPVR for over 2 years, but back then it had trouble recording ATSC streams. From what I remember the developer (Sub) lives in England which has DVB signals... he h...

I would def think that your machine would have enough oomph to play back these files.... I believe ATSC is just mpeg2 - so make sure you have a decent mpeg2 decoder... I really like the Nvidia PureVideo codec (you don't have to have an Nvidia video card to use it). Try to download the free trial to ...

I'd say definitely try something like an old mouse pad or bubble wrap first to see if this would be effective at all. If it works - try lowes for stick on rubber feet - they have several different types. That said, I'm not sold on case feet to take care of noise... the resonance from vibration will ...

2nd this option - works really well - have used it several times. You just need to get both hard drives hooked up at the same time (which can be an issue in some small systems)

was curious how things went with your thinstation

I'm not sure if that particular model is X86 based or not.. not finding much in the specs, however you shouldn't HAVE to load any special firmware on it - it supports RDP out of the box - you'll likely be able to put in your XP machine's Host name or IP address in as a "terminal server". My model al...

hey - if you have a kill-a-watt (or other power meter) - measure it for me... Often wondered how much power these use... I'm assuming something low like 20 watts or less, but it would be neat to know for sure (without having to buy a $20 power meter)

I just read the actual article (only skimmed before) - he's basically using linux as a host to run virtualbox which is then RDPed into. If you are using XP as a host, all you need to do is the above mentioned hack, and create sepearate users for each person who wants to connect (or different users f...

This time with links included so basically he's turned his old machine into a terminal. there are plenty of other options to turn your old machine into a terminal.... http://www.thinstation.org/ http://diet-pc.sourceforge.net/ http://www.rdesktop.org/ You don't even have to have a linux host - most ...
