If your macbook pro is going spare.....

 

My Macs would be last things on that list I would get rid of if I had to. They probably get the most use of all my kit at home.

Its got a built in encoder and takes the output from any video device and encodes it and streams it over the LAN / Internet. It varies the quality depending on the available bandwidth. For common things like Sky boxes etc theres a remote control thing so you can change the channels etc.

 

If you want a play, download the slingplayer software from slingplayer.com and ill pm you the login details

I used to have a Sun Fire E6900 but I recently upgraded to a

Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 Server to run some VMs

 

Sun Servers

 

 

 

 

 

Nah just kidding!

 

I used to have 1 NAS Server (an old P2 DELL stuffed with HDs running FreeNAS), and 1 testing box (which blew the MB), plus 2 media centre PCs + 2 Desktops but now I just use my laptop
