Hello All.

I am currently using a Windows XP / AMD 2400+ system to steam OUTGOING online video. I bet at least one of you spit out your drink after reading that :D, but it is true!

It's definitely time to upgrade.

I have used ustream.com and justin.tv before it was shut down. I would like to use youtube streaming and if fiber every comes to my neighborhood I would like to host my own OUTGOING video stream.

I use Adobe Media Encoder when I can but I'm not familiar with all of the settings or other options out there.

What are the suggestions for a single use video OUTGOING streaming machine?

It would be used once or twice a month. I don't want a full blown machine but I am willing to pay for a decent machine. Out of the box is preferred but if there is good build that would be better for this usage then I could lean in that direction.

Thank You,
~Donavon

For a home theater PC with no gaming? I'd go with an AMD APU or a Pentium G3258 over an FX-8320.

I need to stream LIVE video OUTGOING TO youtube, not from youtube. So there will probably be different needs. I wish I new what they all where that's why I'm asking the you, the experts.

Oh OK, then yeah I can see where the requirements would be different - but the question remains if you are going with a tower or HTPC form factor.

Thank You... I will use your post as a starting point.

What do you mean by "The rest are flexible, make them fit ur budget.". What are the rest?

What do you mean by "HTPC form factor", is that one of the all in one units?

I think a tower would have more possibilities and expandability if I want to repurpose it in the future.
