Its a capable enough machine but its louder than the furnace, washer and dryer all combined! No one in the house can sleep and I can't get my money back :( I measured it at 80 db idling and up to 100 when under load. Now I'll have to buy a separate (expensive) soundproofed rack to contain it. wcn I wish I had read this before I bought a supermicro server.

Where are you with writing your mac guide? That would be really cool to have a slightly easier setup for the rest of us ;) Another option would be to run it on a NAS connected to the SB… Do you think it would be reasonable? Thanks This looks great! Where are you with writing your mac guide?

I really want to play civ 5 and it will only work with steam. From what I can tell steam is really just short for "steaming pile of..." with its requirements. Wish they would support the mac just a little better. Your instructions worked like a charm though! Thanks so much for these steps. I really want to play civ 5 and it will only work with steam.

Im very new to Linux and really could do with your help. I seemed to have got it nearly all working and feel like i must be missing something simple! Shairport is working fine, i.e output to speakers, it is also outputting fine to the pipe. its integrated with squeezebox as far as i get "Playing Airplay" on the Player when i send music, but just does not seem to bring the audio?? I am using Linux Mint and feel its around the Init.d script? Could this be it and if so what am i missing when trying to run it on Linux? As i said im new to linux and cant convert this script? Any Help from anyone would be amazing!! Cheers Amazing work Stuart! Im very new to Linux and really could do with your help.

When you want to launch Steam you then double-click on the disk image file (which places a Steam icon on your desktop), then open this and run the Steam application from within). Hope this helps!
