Home Server config

Solution
I have a Microserver G7 N36L and I host my nas OS on it (amongst other OSs as I'm running them virually). with your built it yourself version the quad core is a huge overkill for a nas. I have a low end AMD dual core in mine and the usage is never noticeable.. like under 10% CPU. I'd suggest if you're building it yourself and therefore have the flexibility of parts to go for a lower powered setup like a pentium or at the very tops an i5 with a lower TDP.
