Hello,
I wish to host media content on a file server which 5 or so clients running XBMC will stream from but need a little help with the hardware for the clients so I can achieve the following..
.. all at the lowest possible cost (as I am building 5..)
My main concern here is CPU/motherboard keeping in mind form factor (mini-itx) and performance. Power consumption isn't as important, I am more worried that I'll knock one of these bad boys up and the picture will lag/stutter.
What are people's experiences or thoughts?
I wish to host media content on a file server which 5 or so clients running XBMC will stream from but need a little help with the hardware for the clients so I can achieve the following..
- Stream 1080p flawlessly
- Consume minimal power
- Client is a Mini-ITX system
.. all at the lowest possible cost (as I am building 5..)
- CPU: ?
- Motherboard: ?
- RAM: 2gb of whatever
- HDD: OCZ Agility 3 60gb SSD
- PSU: ?
- Chasis: whatever's going cheap
- (GC)?? (if needed)
