Why didn't I use a pc option and a large hard disk in the first place?
Well that was due to cost. Storage is relatively cheap, but a 'decent'
sound card is expensive and so is the touch screen flat monitor that I
want in my setup. Would probably put it on a new server and network
into my exsisting pc. The idea was the have the flat screen in the
living room and the rest of the hardware upstairs in an office, well
away from everything. You must be looking at 1500 quid for a really
good setup like that perhaps a bit less.

Pre-owned Dell laptop - £250 off ebay
External Maxtor 250gb HDD - £200 from Dabs
External sound card - £50 off ebay
iTunes as the 'front end' - free
+ a bit of wire and some plugs
