Currently I use a 750GB HDD in an NSA310 with a WD TV Live connected to the TV.
Everything works well, only I'm liking the idea of setting up a new media center that can display thumbnails and full info for downloaded movies etc. Something like XBMC or Plex.
I was going to build a machine like this...
Novatech Media Center Case (Approx £50)
Mobo Bundle H81M-PLUS, Pentium G3220 & 4GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 Memory (Approx £105)
Totalling £155ish.
Would this make a good system? I'd eventually up the HDD to something larger when required.
Then I stumbled across the HP Server on eBuyer at £130 and thought maybe with a graphics card this may be better on power and quieter - but wouldn't look so good in front of the TV but would it be powerful enough for playing local 1080p MKV's?
Interested in peoples thoughts. We're going to then use the WD TV Live (Wireless) in the bedroom.
