Hello,
Some interesting threads on here, I've read a few which touch on my topic but none I could see that outright answered it....
So, I'm looking to build my own NAS for XBMC, I'm pretty much set on FreeNAS as the OS....
Obviously as a NAS I'd like it to be as low power as possible so I can keep it on 24/7, or maybe have it sleep, I'm not sure that's a whole other question...
I was looking at the Sempron 145 as the CPU which seems to offer a nice low power draw while still being cheap to buy...
I would want it to run SAB, Sickbeard, CouchPotato and Headphones and I wonder how well they'd run on that sort of system? - I've only ever ran them on my desktop before
Other information:
Not considered the RAID setup yet but I would probably choose JBOD...
Based on the price of RAM lately I'd get 4 or 8GB
Running a mixture of HDD's approx 6
3x 2TB, 2x3TB and a 1.5TB
