hi there, a short question:
Which hardware would you recommend for a Home-Media-Server? The problem I face is: On the one hand, it should be energy efficient, on the other it should have enough power to transcode full hd mkvs to mp4 live and without lags (streaming server) inside a virtual machine. I have a feeling that an Atom won't cut it.
Harddrives will pretty certain be WesternDigital Red with 4x3TB, so basically what I need is: CPU, PSU, Board, RAM (and maybe a tape drive!)
