[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1118066, member: 109222"] Hi. If you do so, remove the GFX card as a server don't need a lot of GPU power. This will save energy. But if you don't use TV I don't understand the purpose of this server in general. Should it be working as NAS then? For a NAS it has a way to strong CPU and eats too much energy. And the available space is not too big... You can add a 2 TB 2,5" HDD into or an external 3TB USB3.0 drive at the tiny HTPC with the effect that you have more storage space and lot less energy consumption. The MP2 server don't need to be running on an extra PC. Did non make sense to keep two PC running only to watch a video. You can get it completely noiseless if you want. This only is a matter of your budget. You can even get an Core i7 as a m-ITX solution. Size has nothing to do with power nowadays. I think the easiest for you would be an [URL='http://www.intel.de/content/www/de/de/nuc/overview.html']Intel NUC[/URL] (i3 or i5 based) as it is the smallest size you can get. Probably with an external USB 3.0 drive if you need more data storage. So you can sell your i3 or use it as working PC in the office or something like that... [/QUOTE]
