...if I build my own WHS (with video), can it also be used as a limited computer?
I have an extra monitor, and I could see a need to use a web browser on this machine from time to time.
Thanks, Stan
Not generally recommended but definitely works, yes.
asm495's correct; it will work, but in a limited fashion.
Just keep in mind that a lot of things in a WHS's control panel can break it from correctly functioning as a WHS. Also, a lot of the function in IE are locked down in the security settings (preventing downloads etc). These can be easily changed, or you could just download FireFox...

Stan,
There is no such thing as a stupid question - just a stupid answer. If you have a genuine question, please pose it in the subject field. That way you are much more likely to get an useful response and more people will benefit.
Have fun with WHS. It is reat at what it does.
Cheers
Ben
