This is all just planning in advance but i thought i'd better start getting a feel of things when the time comes.
I need a new server for when i move into my new house (once it's built) and my old dell pc is to noisy for the task.
What i'm planning to do is install mediaportal on it so it can record channels without having to have my main HTPc/gaming pc on.
It will also be where i keep all my movie back ups so it needs lots of hdd.
Now what i think i might be asking for could be to much so i might need to compromise a bit.
I want it to be a quiet and as cheap as possible so at first i thought a Atom setup might do it but i need to have lots of sata ports (most only have two) and i need a couple of pci slots for the tv cards.
This then means i reckon i'll have to use a AMD setup and i have no idea where to start on amd. I don't know what produce the least heat!
RAM wise i was thinking of only 2gb unless you think i might need more.
Case i don't really kno where to start but as small as possible would be nice but i'm aware i want it to be quiet and have lots of rooms for HDD's (prob about 6) so i understand that may not be possible.
