Which is still unresolved. As it stands, streaming occurs from the vintage machine over wifi... which is struggling...

My current rig:


The wiring off the side is a Belkin charging station and not a wired plate....

Does your current rig support Wifi and sport nuclear batterys which have magically turned it invisible? 
If so, that's a better server than this one :P

This is the dusty old computers I run 87.9FM The Cheese on at home.  The one on the left is what my audio plays out of (homebrew PC.. makes lots of noise) This runs the station software and holds all my music (over 4,400 tracks!).  The one on the right does all the streaming for the internet and Cable TV.  Keeping backups of the music is a nightmare as I do not currently own any NAS device.  I am having to backup to 4.7gb DVD Rewriteables which not only is labour intensive and slow, but many hours of work could be lost at any time :(  I would put the HP Microserver to work ensuring the Music Library and important data was always backed up.  I could also use it to provide a better service for the internet streaming (retiring the HP Compaq pictured, currently in use).

Of course I promise the HP Microserver would be lovingly dusted daily should I win it..
