Hi, bit of a strange one. I'm soon to start my mcitp and am looking for something cheap to run the server o/s on. Then I had the idea that I could use the machine afterwards as a media player/htpc. I had a look at the dell zino, but not sure if that could cope with server. Does anyone know of a machine that could perform both roles, or would i be better off building something myself?

also to really do MCITP you'll need to run a number of 2k8 boxes as VM's to test domain controller functionality etc. the thing is these dont have to be very quick - cheapest quad core you can lay your hands on , and a board that'll take 4 slots of RAm would be nice so you can squeeze 8GB in there ( possibly downgrade after you've done your certs )
