okay im going to go off on one and spil my goal... its sad i know...
okay when i get my oen place my ideal technologie is...
A computer room, with a top server with say a 300GB's of space this i would use as my webserver which i would host my own site files and also sell the space, this webserver will be using linux., then i would also have a second server with say a TB of space, this server will store ALL my music/video/dvd files, this maybe windows.
i then want a mac laptop, and also a windows laptop.
with the windows laptop i plan to use as the entertanment outlet, to in say the living room i would have a data projector, and a great sound system which will all be wired in and then i can plug the lap top in on the site and use a remote control to use this laptop to feed all my entertainment from the entertainment server into my living room. i will prob have some form of windows media center on the laptop... so i will get all my music/dvd/video/TV through th server....
Sound good?
well i have say 10 years to get there.... (im 14) hehe
i feed all my music through my surround system, and video through my computer, (i would also be using my computer for TV but the card i brought was crap and the software just wouldnt work right, i tried everything so i guess im gonna have to wait and get another lol)
hmm do u think i am being opimistic?
i dont think so looking at how prices of the equiptment has dropped so much in the last few years...
Data projector say 5 years ago £1500 now £5-600,
decent surround system a few years ago £150 minimum
now say £100 minum
okay so i know the servers are prob gonna cost a BOMB! even in ten years... say £7000 for both?
a couple of 19" tfts for the servers.... say £250
so:
7000
600
250
100
Rough total = 7950 (say £8,000)
so in style of master card...
A long list of technolgie. £8,000
A great entertainment sytem that you would prefer over a partener...
PRICELESS.
Dan
anyone have dream systems?
