[QUOTE="JACOB B, post: 594354, member: 82222"] Hi Kev, I spotted your server setup in your sig :D I am planning building a multimedia server for HDTV and video streaming as well as TV-server/DVR using MP. I am currently using a HP media smart server EX475 for all but the TV-server part, as my tuner cards are FireDTV DVB-C (IEEE 1394 - no such thing on the EX475). My living room client is the Asrock ION 330HT, and HD playback with H264, VC-1 and MPEG, 720P, 1080i, and 1080p is all smooth. My question: Why did you go for the i7, rather than a cheaper and lower energy consuming dual core? What server OS are you using? I am planning on using WHS - just because I am used to it. Cheers, Jacob [/QUOTE]
