You say micro HDMI but the device on the slot says micro USB......

Interesting thought is just get a roku and let the laptop stream to it over the network. The bonus to this it that roku has a bunch of free based channels and even some of the remote streaming ones are free. I used to use one before i got an xbox one.

My first time on the forum so please forgive me if i dont explain whats what right away. I am wanting to install my own rack mount server system into my house for mass storage and program sharing. The reason for this is that i just want to do it and have access to the hardware, be it outdated, for a very good price. My issue is that other then slapping in drives, setting the raid, and installing windows server 2012 on every machine i dont know what i am doing. Honestly i would love to have one server control the others so as to not loose room to os but i dont know how to do that. All of the systems have network boot options but even that is unknown to my. Someone please help. I have looked online but everything just super glosses over the steps and that isnt a help at all. If you want to know what units i have for this project just ask.
