Would you like a server which can play digital music as well as videos? You don’t have to spend a lot of money to buy a new computer, you can convert an old computer into a video server. Follow the steps below and you could create your own video server. You only need to upgrade a few of the components. Read the information which came with the PC you are going to convert so you are familiar with the technologies it utilizes. Step 1 Remove the case from the computer. Install the additional RAM you will require. Unlock the clips and place the RAM module in. Replace the clips. Step 2 Insert a larger hard drive. Place the hard drive in one of the bays. Use two screws to secure it. Link the data cable with the power cord. Step 3 Insert a TV tuner card. Remove the chassis grill from the PCI-Express slots. Insert the digital card into the slot and push into place. Step 4 Insert a wireless network card. Remove another chassis grill, line the network card to the slot and push it into place. Step 5 Add a DVD rewriter drive which will free space on your hard drive. Slide the rewriter into an empty bay. Secure it with screws so it will not move. Hook up the power cord with the data cable which attaches it to the DVE rewriter drive. Close the case on your computer. Step 6 Link your stereo and television to the network using the digital media adapter. Link the media adapter to your network with the use of an Ethernet cable. The server will be able to locate it if you use the software which came with the digital media adapter.
