Small PC as Music Server

breadvan

Hi there, saw couple of these very mini PCs, wonder if any ching has other suggestion.

My criteria is similarly small packages like these, and Windows based.  No need to be super powerful, not even i7, as long as it can comfortably run as a music server.  Oh quiet of course.

Thanks, I am sure its very good but trying to minimize the OS learning curve and I already have the necessary soft to begin with.

For Windows, BRIX or NUC is probably as small as you can get. Zotac has similar size products also but it's not better than BRIX or NUC anyway.

If you're willing to try something different, Raspberry Pi is very cheap ($320), small and easy to setup. It is not the best sounding music server but for that money it's just fun to play with.
