Hi All Ive given up messing with File players, they are not worth the trouble for me. Ive decided im going for an all in one PC [ No towers] Anyone know what the good ones are. Windows OS absolutely No Apple. Im doing nothing other than playing FLAC/Wav files thru Media Monkey player. Outboard DAC ofc but thats nothing to do with this.. Always been an HP fan tho.. Something Like This |

Samsung and LG do some nice all-in-ones, Lenovo too.
I would put HP on a lower rung for reliability.
For outboard DAC, you'll be pushed to better the Caiman SEG.

I have HRT Streamer for Soundcard Bypass. no worries about DAC. Funny you should say that about HP, always had em & been the most reliable! I really like that LG in the link above.

All-in-ones, we used to use DELL at work, no problems.
Before you buy one, give consideration to the fact that they're often difficult/impossible to upgrade in the future (e.g. if you want to add an extra hard drive)

An SSD as the main drive should suffice. Cloud storage makes better sense than additional drives these days.

Outboard Streamer & Outboard storage Hard Drives. Can you buy Dell other from them these days? |

You can buy Dell on eBay. I buy all our Dell servers at work ex-corporate on eBay at superb prices.

Where is the best free storage on the cloud these days ?
I think the boss pays for hers

OneDrive gives you a certain amount free. Dropbox too, I think.

Thanks.
I'm sure most of the stuff will never be accessed again so free would be very nice

OneDrive is my cloud store for documents, photos etc. I don't keep anything local any more, which keeps my PCs clean and allows me to access my stuff from any device.

+1 for Dropbox for me too... but iCloud from Apple appears to be pretty reasonable, from £0.59 a month for 50GB through to £6.99 a month for 2TB

The OVH HubiC system give me 10TB for €50 per year. This is also saved at three locations across France

Good starting offer, too. Have you checked the small print, especially with regards to privacy and title?

It’s pretty standard stuff I went with my sons recommendation, he uses them for work clients for back up. All my personal copyright material is encrypted anyway.

Nice. I'll have a closer look as I'm paying £100/mth for 10TB space for backups with Livedrive at work.
