Hey guys, this might have been posted but there are really alot of threads and I can not seam to find one that fully relates to what I want to do, if you guys know of a thread that will help me please link it and delete or lock this thread.
I want to use old pc parts I have on my work bench to build a pc for streaming all my 1080p movies to multiple pc's in the house through a wired lan connection and a gigabit switch. What will the bare minimum specs be for running up to 10 hard drives and being able to stream up to 5 X 1080p mkv movies with bitrates up to 20MB/s per movie whether from the same hard drive or separate hard drives simultaneously to different pc's without buffering or any other issues etc...
The pc itself will not be playing any movies itself and will be running xbmc so that you can just click on the movie from any of the other pc's and it would just stream to it.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
