As this forum has been a great source of information I was looking for some ideas/thoughts about a server build i have in mind.
1) Sickbeard/couch potato/sabnzbd installation. As the server and HTPC will not be on 24 hours a day, is it best to download to the server or HTPC?
2) Unraid - If going down this route i would require cache drive to achieve point 1? Does Unraid work well as a downloading machine which is only on for a finite amount of time ? or is it best to have it on 24/7?
3) Is Flexraid + WHS a viable alternative?
4) Unraid if it is left on 24/7 would it shut down all drives if there is no activity? (even with a parity/cache drive)
5) I'd like to one day (if possible) be able to stream my music to a remote device - like logitech squeezebox. Is there any device i could use with an unraid server?
Thanks
