hi guys.
I'm really lost and have joined your forum in the hope that some kind soul can help me. I currently have a small network at home. I'm getting rid of my old media centre (athlon ii 240e x2 + ATI Radeon HD 4200) as it was slightly struggling with streaming full HD movies.
My old media centre was setup to play one movie directly onto a tv and stream another using Serviio via Lan to my other DLNA tv.
As above, I want to be able to share/play HD movies in two rooms, simultaneously, i.e. kids watching in one room and me in another, without jerky/slow playback.
I want to be able to keep it on 24/7 without costing loads
I also want to be able to transfer files to it from my PC upstairs.
I'm not sure if I can make a cheap PC that uses under 20-25 watts on full power like a nas or if i'm simply better off purchasing a NAS. Any ideas?
I hope i've been clear enough, but if you need further info, then please let me know.
Thanks again.
