[QUOTE="cjgall, post: 26572, member: 175963"] You can make it wireless by connecting the RJ-45 socket to a wireless access point with a crossover cable. According to Hauppage you need to disable encryption though, not an option for me as most of my network is wireless including my web & mail server. I also share my adsl connection with my neighbour so I need all the security I can get. Another, even greater, disadvantage is that the PC storing the audio and video files needs to run a server application. This limits the whole thing to Windows as there is no Linux support. You might as well run an audio cable straight from the PC to the amp. A pity as I have been wanting to store my whole CD collection as mp3 on my (Linux) server and transmit them to my amp for some time. Maybe time to build a second VIA EPIA machine :) (see: [url]http://www.mini-itx.com/[/url] ). [IMG]http://www.mini-itx.com/news/images/story0026.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
