Sure, I have no problem posting HERE! Fact is being retired and on a fixed income, I simply don't have the $$$ to spend on bling. So I have very little to say anymore. If it weren't for the fact my 2002 HTPC, my only music source finally died 17 months ago, and senior citizen 65 tax return was very very good to me, I would still be w/o my hard drive library. It is what it is.
Fortunately, I have Rich's MS-3 and I'll be loading up JRiver Media Center and I'll bump up from free Fidelizer to paid Pro now that I have a dedicated music server that will do 1 thing and 1 thing only,,,,glorious music. I bought a USB 2.0 10 outlet hub and a Logitech RF keyboard and will be using my 23" monitor. I don't do wi-fi so the MS-3 will be hard wired.
Unfortunately nothing going to be happening soon. Looking for a USB 2.0 SATA 3.5 hard drive enclosure with fan for my older Seagate 1.5T library is hard, especially when you run into fraud. I thought I found this dual bay Rosewill R2-JBOD enclosure from a Berkeley, Ca business TvsandScreens that I bought a week ago. After a couple of unanswered email inquiries and unanswered telephone calls, I went to Paypal and found my money went to BMP Products with a listed web page wholesomecupboards,com which doesn't exist. So I Google the Berkeley address and it's just a small restaurant building. Google also says the business is Canadian based and with a very low safe rating. So I filed a Resolution with Paypal. So until this gets settled, no hard drive enclosure, no hard drive library,,, still no system to talk about.
But when I do have something to say,,, I'll be back and I'll expect to be pretty excited as Scott Clark has gotten me pretty wound up over his HAL MS-1 music server and kinda pushed me off the wall into getting one.
Cheers,
Robin
