so lets start with the parts I have, I have an:
I3 -2120
6 gigs of Kingston ddr3 1333 value ram
a 140gb ssd
various hdd ranging from 1tb to 2tb
not concerned about raid to much will be using cobian for my back ups
and Windows 8 Pro 64
this machine will be headless in a cabinet
I have been using it to rip dvd's (possible blu ray upgrade in future)
and then convert to manageable mp4 with handbrake and server it all up with plex to as many as 3-5 clients at once.
also using it as a file server to store and back up my 10,000+ picture and home videos along with a carbonite backup.
looking for a stable micro atx MOBO
a reliable PSU
and a quite, high airflow and hdd dense micro atx case
also do you think the cpu ram should be good for what I do.
I know when I convert the video files it maxes out the I3 but the system still handles it.
