[QUOTE="smarty12345, post: 992222, member: 116919"] I didn't want to go NAS as I could buy drives and components and build a system that would thearetically give me much more control and levels of future expansion, and generally at a lower overall cost of components. What I am unsure about is really what level of CPU/RAM would be best suited for the job. I have seen posts from people here using Core2Quad CPU's or higher and I wonder if that kind of CPU is really required for a "simple" file server whose sole purpose is to allow network access to 720 and 1080 or lower mkv files. As I was thinking of using a software raid application would this mean I would need a better CPU for that, or is that fairly simple work for a CPU? [/QUOTE]
