Hello all,
I have a bunch of bits laying around from past builds and upgrades.
I was just wondering if this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6813128536 Motherboard with a C2D E6600 is better for a NAS or XBMC build? I would prefer a mini itx for the XBMC but I would also like to save any $$$ I can. Planning on open elect or free NAS I think.
also looking at 2x2tb drives to start on the nas and add more as needed.
Also what do you think of these:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6813157247
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6813157228
as possible alternates for either build.
Never built a nas or htpc before and have found a LOT of info but not sure what is overkill and what is too slow.
I'm a 7 as far as my want's go for the HTPC and will want to put my 800+ DVD collection on the NAS as well as 100gigs of music at least to start.
I appreciate all input and suggestions
