Hi there,
Thanks for reading my post, I could use some help.
I am currently running a MP Tv-Server (1.5) with 1 wired, 2 wireless and 1 VPN connected client.
It is at my parents house and they like to record a LOT of programs. On top of that, I like to connect to their TV-Server over VPN to watch some live sports.
I use the DVB-IP tv cards to watch and record tv. I currently have 3 virtual IP cards in the server and sometimes when it is recording, on all 3 cards it will cause slight hick-ups.
These are the specs of the current server :
Core2duo E8400 CPU
2GB mem
Intel G33/G31 chipset video card.
WDC WD10EADS 1TB HDD
1Gb onboard NIC (Marvell yukon)
1Gb addon NIC (Intel Pro/1000GT)
I would like to build them a new TV server that is a little quieter compared to this one, but also is a bit stronger and will be able to handle 4 simultaneous streams.
I am thinking about :
ASRock FM2A88M Extreme4+ retail
AMD A10-5800K Black Edition
Crucial BLT2CP4G3D1869DT1TX0CEU (8GB DDR3-1866)
WD Red SATA 6 Gb/s WD30EFRX, 3TB
Scythe Big Shuriken 2 Rev. B
Corsair Builder CX430 Bronze 430 Watt PSU
I should have a case lying around that I can use.
Should I add an SSD as an OS and timeshifting disk?
Do you reckon this server will be able to handle 4 simultaneous streams?
Thanks for reading and any advice you might be able to give!!
