Hardware for HTPC

M.Rottler
Hey guys,

I want to set up a HTPC for my livingroom! 

I thought I'd install Windows 8 and put the UTM appliance in VMWare Workstation...

I also want to build in a TV-card for my beamer... What hardware should I use? The UTM has to manage 2 PCs and 3 mobile phones...!

thanks a lot in advance!

    I wouldn't use the UTM as a VMWare workstation installation. If you want to virtualize, you'd better use ESXi on the hardware and then host both Win8 and UTM. But this would probably not go together with a TV-card.
    Best thing would be to just use different hardware for the two systems.

    Managing several Sophos UTMs and Sophos XGs both at work and at some home locations, dedicated to continuously improve IT-security and feeling well helping others with their IT-security challenges.

    Sometimes I post some useful tips on my blog, see blog.pijnappels.eu/category/sophos/ for Sophos related posts.
