[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 994000, member: 75318"] Hi Smarty, I was in a bit of a quandary when I decided to build a server. I eventually went for discrete components and a mini tower case with a mobo ( [FONT=arial][COLOR=#141414]Asus M5A99X EVO Rev 2.0 AMD 990X AM3+ ) [/COLOR][/FONT]that had 8 x sata ports. I don't use raid - just have mirror backups of each drive, well within my limited tech' capability to deal with this. I have an AMD Phenom II x 6 Black Edition as it easily handles the video conversion which is useful for streaming to tablets / phones. I convert all movies & TV Series to .m4v format and this is quickly done with the AMD processor. It really improved my MP experience too. I can access it using RDC whilst the GF doesn't get her viewing interrupted by my moving files around. My server spec is in my signature. [/QUOTE]
