I know this might be a duplicate topic, but I can't really find the answers I am looking for!
If I have a media server set up in my pantry with windows home server, can I run control software like QCQ or mControl (etc.) on this PC (w/o any restrictions or downfalls?)? Also, I am interested to attach a touchscreen display which I can mount to the wall right next to the pantry. (Convenient location in the middle of the house)
I'd like to use that touchscreen to access the control software and my media.
I just keep reading that there's no monitor supposed to be hooked to WHS, is this just trying to point out that one won't need one or that this PC should really ONLY run WHS and nothing else?
any thoughts?
in case anybody cares for the setup I am ready to order at Newegg:
