During the last weeks I kept thinking about "reanimating" my MP system and move from a single-seat to a multi-seat installation. I chatted with Lyfesaver about this in IRC, but I thought I should open a new thread here to discuss my remaining questions
So here is my situation: the hardware of my singleseat is some years already, but I'd like to use the some of the parts in my new setup, if possible. Here is what I have right now:
Motherboard: GigabyteGA-MA78GM-S2H
CPU: Athlon X2 BE-2350, 45W TDP
RAM: 1GB DDR2 800Mhz (used to have 2GB, but one bar died)
DVB-S: WinTV Nova S Plus
DVB-S2: SkyStar HD2
As mentioned earlier I'd like to have a dedicated TV server and separate clients (1 for now, more in the future). I'd also like to stream content to mobile devices (HP Touchpad, etc), so the server needs to be powerful enough to transcode the media (using MPExtended).
After talking to Lyfesaver this was the current status:
Client:
Motherboard: GigabyteGA-MA78GM-S2H
CPU: Athlon X2 BE-2350, 45W TDP
RAM: 2GB DDR2 800Mhz (adding 1GB)
(+ optional) GPU: HD5450 passive
Server:
Motherboard: "some Z68-Board"
CPU: "some" i3
RAM: 4GB
DVB-S: WinTV Nova S Plus
DVB-S2: SkyStar HD2
So as you can see there is some stuff left to discuss
My question basically is if you guys think this is a good solution and if yes, what you would suggest as mobo & cpu combination for the server.
Also, if you think there is a better / cheaper / ... solution, you are more than welcome to post it
Thanks in advance for your comments and again, thanks to Lyfesaver for the help in IRC!
