Nas / MB Server

[silverscout 7]

Please be as nice and gentle (who am I kidding..  be as honest as possible)

 

so I am planning for this black friday (I know it is a little bit away) giving myself an early holiday gift.   I wish for the setup to house a NAS, transcode and record video.  Currently I have the below in my wish list to keep an eye on.  

 

setup. 

1. HD HomeRun 3 channel 

1. Nas (potentially running windows server 2012) doing a software nas. 

 

Needs

1. Stream with transcode to around 3-4 at the same time. 

2. Stream and record TV from the HD Home Run

3. House 6HDD's (why? why not?) hard drives not listed due to going to build that up later.. already have 2..  will get 2 more black friday

4. potentially a combo of 1 and 2. 

 

 

Goal - cheap as possible. (I wish I could be less of a scrooge.. However, the woman stated I need to save up for the wedding.  uhg.. 1 day of cake vs countless days of media, however, I guess it is all about her.. sigh!!!  I already gave her an expensive shinny.. what else could she possibly want  )

Sounds like you are going to have yourself a nice setup. One addition I would make would be to buy a CPU fan, the stock fans that come with the CPU are somewhat lacking.

 Yep gotta agree with you there.  I'm Noctua all the way, even tho they are quite pricey they are soooooo good at what they do.

 

Although saying that you'll be pushed to get a low profile one for that case.

Check out my build I did recently, you'll see that what you have will easily do what you want it to.  You got yourself a nice set up but I would think about a bigger case tbh.
