scored a cool free server from my moms work today
trying to find a camera for pics
its an old dell poweredge 2600. loud as hell
dual 2.4ghz fsb400 xeons w/ hyperthreading
2gb ddr ecc ram
1x34gb scsi 10k
5x74gb scsi 10k (in raid0 now )
cdrw/dvd combo slim drive
floppy drive (only one in the house now )
just installed win2k3 server on it. want to turn it into a media server to stream to the 360. however, im not sure if it can handle 1080p x264s, which is mainly what id do
before i can do that, i need to find a cheapo sound card (no integrated sound wtf)
if it works well, ill find a pci sata card and buy some hdds over the summer
i dont think you have to worry about it displaying x264, it just has to host them, the 360 will be the one decoding/playing it....
