This is an example of one of the situations where I would not target-market the Rio Central: You've already got a music server covered. I like the Central because it's a silent 24/7music server, and I didn't already have one.


I'm not necessarily averse to moving functionality off that server onto other things; if I moved enough off it I could crash it more often (I also do some development including kernel development on it) but even at a considerably discounted $500 the Central probably isn't sufficiently cheap to make that the next functionality I move off it. (I moved several things onto the machine I replaced my router with, a $100-on-clearance GallantWeb email server I'm not using the bundled software with).
