I am using an Asus 14 inch laptop with an Intel i3 processor, 4gb ram and a 1tb hard drive. I am using a Western Digital 2TB usb3 hard drive for all my music files. The laptop supports usb3 and is Windows 7. I use J River Media Center 19. Total outlay was around $500 new.
I turned off all the services that I didn't need and have very minimal software on it. It runs like a dream and I can access over 500 cd's at present in flac. I also use the app j remote to use my iPad and iPhone as a remote control.
