[QUOTE="pilehave, post: 804000, member: 71550"] Idea is fine, there are some considerations regarding power consumption. Do you use your HTPC for TV? And if yes, do you plan to move the tuners to your "NAS"? I build my own server from scratch, using theis board: [url=http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/motherboards/2011/01/04/amd-zacate-mini-itx-motherboards-preview/5]MSI E350-E45 mini-ITX preview | bit-tech.net[/url] The entire system only uses 20W when idling (is never in suspend/hibernation). Besides that, it has 8 GB RAM, a dual DVB-T tuner, 4 x 3.5" disks (1.5-2 TB each) and a 2.5" disk for OS (which is Win 7 x64). Oh, and an extra 1.5TB backup-disk on USB :D It works really wel IMHO.
