I Know a lot similar to my question has been posted on this site and others', but I am still not finding a straightforward answer. I am looking to build a PC/Media Server for my living room. This is what I will want for it. I don't want to spend too little and not get what I need or spend too much for shit I will never need. I am close to just going with this.... http://www.tested.com/tech/windows/406-how-to-build-an-awesome-500-windows-home-server/
What I need;
Thank you for your help.
What I need;
- 4TB of Storage (1TB for backups; 3TB for media)
- To be able to use this as my XBMC client to play directly to my TV using an HDMI port
- Access my files over the internet no matter where I am. I want to be able to watch movies on my phone from my HDDs
- I want it to be fast, I want it to be a good experience for everyone using it in the living room, on the tvs in the bedroom (Connect by Rasberry Pi's) on the phone and laptops even away from home
- I also would like to use it as a real computer for web surfing and programs
Thank you for your help.
