[Advice] for a Low Power 720P HTPC/Fileserver
I am at a loss as to what to get here. Mostly need a recommendation on a low power CPU. I'm running SUSE linux and have the following requirements: -HDMI output -SATA connectors (biggest reason I'm switching from my current PII 333) -DDR2 ( I realize that this is probably a moot req.) -Linux support...

Not sure how much computing power you need for slimserver as I am not familiar with it. As far as a file server goes, you don't need much particularly if you are running linux and strip out all the extra stuff you don't need. I just built a SUSE box based around a Pentium II I had laying around. I u...

Just an update for anyone interested. It turns out that version 0.686 (not compatible in newer versions) of Freenas has a built in UPNP server that will stream video content to the xbox360. For now I will be sticking with my current setup. I did acquire some more ram for it and will most likely be a...

I don't think I want to try loading my current machine with XP. I would want to be able to use it to torrent files which would be painfully slow.

VIA, Athlon XP, or Pentium II?
Sorry if this is long winded but some detail is needed. I currently have a Pentium II 333 with several hard drives in it and like 76mb of ram. It is running freenas and does an ok job as a NAS. I recently bought a laptop and am working on selling my desktop which I used to stream media to my xbox360...
