I was wanting to have a NAS that also puts video on my TV. That way I |
43 |
can turn off my puter and still watch TV. It would be as much a media |
44 |
system as a NAS. I have a mobo, ram and I think I have a extra video |
45 |
card somewhere. I'd need a case, power supply and such. I'd also need |
46 |
a place to put all this which is going to be interesting. I'd want |
47 |
plenty of hard drive bays tho. I found a fractal 804 case that caught |
48 |
my eye. Can't recall all the details tho. |

Still, needs money and right now, I got to many other coals in the |
51 |
fire. Plus, I'm trying to figure out this crypttab thing. From what |
52 |
I've read, it is for opening encrypted drives during boot up which is |
53 |
not really what I want. I can boot and login into my KDE without |
54 |
anything encrypted being mounted. Kinda like this new setup really. |

I'll be so glad when fiber internet gets here. I think I'm going with |
57 |
the 500Mb/sec plan. Costs about the same as my current 1.5Mb/sec plan. |
