Forget it! I bought enough parts to build a PC for next to nothing. See the comments for details.

If anyone out there has an old PC that is sitting around gathering dust, please let me know.

We need an extra PC for AD Radio because– believe it or not– it will greatly simplify our setup. Right now, I have three sound cards in my PC, and it is quite difficult to juggle all the settings that are necessary to manage AD Radio. With an extra PC, I can offload the audio encoding and one of the Skype telephone lines to the extra PC. I can run it through Remote Desktop, so a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc is not necessary.

The computer should be around 1ghz or better to handle audio encoding. Hard drive space doesn’t matter since I really only need an OS and a couple of applications to run on it. Memory doesn’t really matter as I can purchase whtever RAM I need to bump it up to around 512mb or so. It would be nice if it had DDR, though–regular SDRAM has gotten expensive, it seems!

I can pay for the computer if necessary, but not a whole heck of a lot. If you’re an AD member who has one, I can also make you a Sponsor.

Thanks!
