I'm hoping to run a home server with Ubuntu that I can use for torrenting and streaming high quality media via Plex. The machine will be on 24/7.
I need it to be as power efficient as possible with the cost being below 800 dollars.
I'm thinking about using 4x 2TB HDDs on RAID 5 with this enclosure:

As for the build for the server/HTPC, I'm thinking:
The only thing I'm missing is the CD drive, but maybe I have to get an external one.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Also, I'll be hooking this machine up to my TV via an HDMI cable and using onboard graphic.
