I ask this sincerely: how much understanding of internet protocols did you have going into this project?

>For example, you don't need to be fully engaged to consume audio in the same way you need to be to consume text or video (i.e. it's easy to vacuum your house or drive a car while listening to a podcast. Not so easy while reading a book or watching a movie).

As a personal anecdote, I DO need to be fully engaged to consume audio in the same way as text or video. Your example of vacuuming is a perfect example, while trying to pay attention to the carpet I'd stop paying attention to the podcast, and i'd have to rewind, which I find tedious.

If you can pay attention while doing those things. I am not the OP, but if it isn't music, listening to anything while doing those things is a non-starter for me, especially driving.

Just built a NAS from an Asus m3a78-MC, Phenom 2 x4 920, 8gb of ddr2800 and an old case. my Desktop pc is only one gen newer on the motherboard from Gigabyte (990FX-UD3) and 2 gens newer on Processor (8350) with a 560ti, and 16gb of DDR3. the NAS cost $75 for all the parts listed in the last month ($17 cpu, $38 mobo, $20 memory). The desktop was probably $400 for the parts when they were new ($135 mobo, $230 CPU, $50 memory). Right now going just a few years back gets you gobs of processing power for very little. But of course its all relative, in another 10 years these DDR2 based systems might seem quite slow.

They show the rates over years, too.. Quantities may be a factor in lower numbers, but over time they are reliable as well.
