Hi,
I'm building a new machine that will serve both as the main Tv-server and an client for my daughter.
There will be also be a another MP client for my girlfriends daughter.
These computers will be placed in my hobbyroom.
There will be some kind of cabling (wireless?) for sound and MCE remote (USB) and DVI (HDMI?) to monitors in there room, 5-10 meters away.
Today I have been running the TVE3 (SVN) for a almost 6 months now with a MP client in the livingroom.
The server hardware will concist of following parts:
Case: Antec P182, maybe I will change the fans to Noctua ones
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DS5, 2 PCI slots, 3 PCI-Express x1, 2 PCI-Express x16, 6 internal SATA and 2 eSATA
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800 with a Scythe Ninja Mini (no fan)
Middle cage HDD: 2x120 GB (Raid1, System)
Lower cage HDD: 3x500 GB (Recordings, maybe raid 2x500GB in a raid1 for recordings to save and 500 GB for normal recs...?)
Upper cage HDD: 4x500 GB WD GP(1,5 TB Raid5, ripped ISO dvd movies, photo backup, FLAC backup) connected to an Raid5 PCI-Express x1 card
Timeshift: 8 GB CF-card on a CF to IDE-converter ( are running timeshift on a 4 GB USB memory today, works perfect)
Power supply: Corsair HX520W
Graphic card: ?? maybe an ATI HD3450 (fanless)
TV-card 1: PCI, analogue Happaugage PVR-250
TV-card 2: PCI, DVB-T, Nova T-500 (I think it works fine now with the latest SVN...have some bluescreens)
Memory: Kingston 2x1024 MB
Remote: MCE remote
Client hardware: (I have these already...)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H (has been running as server for a while now)
CPU: AMD Sempron 3500
Memory: Kingston 2x512 MB
Video: onboard DVI or HDMI
Sound: USB soundcard
I would like to have the server to wake up when the clients are awake and using it (movies), and hibernate afterwards.
I will store MP3 and photos on my VIA ITX Homeautomation pc for 24/7 access. (25 W power consumption)
The FLAC music are stored locally in the livingroom client, connected to my Marantz amplifier.
Please feel free to comment on my setup!
