Well, I am trying to run it on a desktop computer that is used by both of my kids and that is our file server.
So, it's not so much a power problem as a "who (if anyone) is logged in" problem.
I can hack something together; I might just move the SB Server to my wife's machine and either have it run off the files on that other machine, or run against a backup of them. I just need to draw myself a map regarding the backup scheme and check on the disk capacities.
I could also use my Ubuntu box and an external hard drive, but I was concerned about performance in that scenario.
What I WANT to do is get my son something else and turn his old socket 939 computer (in a gorgeous Silverstone case) into a vortexbox. But that would cost me a replacement computer, whereas the other scenarios are basically free.
I think these little
