Hi all,
I have to buy a NAS and decided to see if there were some NAS around with DLNA capabilities...
Being really cheap, I thought that D-Link DNS-237L could do the trick, having a decent CPU (Marvell 88F6707 1.2Ghz) with 512MB of RAM for less than 120€ (around here in Italy). It has addon ...

i went the opposite, high core, high RAM, heavy fan, moderate PSU -- RDP or VNC only and kept it in a closet.

I would love to have the box with this features:


Linux Powered, so no strange configs with poor driver support
Have to be able to transcode on-the-fly at least 2 streams 1080p max bitrate ...

I have a "dumb" tv and a wd tv live streaming.
I had issues using this with UMS on OsX with Java 7, but now they are resolved (it took me a while to figure it out).

BUT as of now, I would recommend always a "Dumb" tv (a screen even better) plus a dedicated hardware for the streaming. You never ...

Hello, I didn't know where else to post, so move my thread if it's not ok in this board, plz ;)

Thanks to all of you who supported my effort
