I will start with the builds:
Gaming Rig:
Intel i7-3770K @ 4.5GHz
Tuniq T120 Tower Extreme CPU Cooler
ASRock Exreme4 Z77 Mobo
16GB G-Skill PC1600 RAM
256 GB Plextor SATA3 SSD
2x Western Digital Black 1TB HDD
GPU: HD7950 is being RMA'd (defective) - Getting a new NVidia 700 series or HD 7900 Series this week.
Xion AXP 700W 80+ Gold PSU (58A Rail)
LG Dvd Burner
Media card reader
NZXT Tempest Evo Arctic Camo Edition Case
Windows 7 Pro x64
Server:
AMD Phenom II 970BE @ 4.0 GHz
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 Mobo
8GB Corsair Vengance PC1600 RAM
90GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD
2TB Western Digital Green (Movies)
1.5TB Western Digital Green (Games, Music, Pics)
XFX Radeon 6780 1GB DDR5 GPU
Rocketfish 700W 80+ Bronze PSU (used to work at BBY)
2x LG DVD burners
Media card reader
NZXT Phantom 410 Case (white)
Windows 7 Ult x64
The machines both run perfectly. The one issue I may run into is the Media Server being directly connected to the TV via HDMI. It is a cloned display for the TV and one of my three Asus 1080P Gaming monitors for my gaming rig. My gaming rig runs Eyefinity (occasionally) and extended display. One work around is to have my HDTV hooked up to the HD4000 graphics card because the TV is only used for video playback.
So should I sell most of the parts of my server with exception to the WD Green hard drives and merge everything into one? Or am I better off keeping them both separate? There is a chance I could use the server as a secondary gaming rig when I buy a house in the next year or two but by then who knows what the tech will be like. Thanks in advance for anyone’s input, and if you have more questions let me know.
Here's a pic of the setup (sorry for the crappy quality)
