All - i would like to share my first HTPC build experience. Recently, i went crazy in all these NAS and Media server thing. I was using plex server in my laptop for years but i never thought of setting up a actual server.
Thats when i knew about Raspberry pi and bought one with a seat sink and case. I used my usb hdd and ran plex. This was going well with Minibian and Plex. Octionally i got server not powerful error for transcoding.
i was thinking of building an actual powerful server with price point in mind.
Just ordered the following for my build,
1. ASRock QC5000-ITX/PH (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6813157595) $50 after rebate
2. Crucial 2GB Ram (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6820148741) $15
3. RAIDMAX Element ATX-101BGP (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6811156328) $25 after rebate
4. Reuse 32 GB USB
5. Reuse 1TB 2.5 HDD
Plan is to Install Ubuntu server on the usb and use 1TB as the NAS. Later i can install more space. What you guys think of this.
I will post pictures of my build once i get the package.
