Hi - first question here!
I'm looking to build a tiny/silent-as-possible HTPC that will be running Plex Media Server. I'm not looking to stream outside the LAN, and the most concurrent streams will be 2 - it will pretty-much just be use to stream to one system at a time (either PS4, PS3, or Chromecast).
I'll connect it direct to the router (Asus N66U), and admin it remotely (suggestions for Remote Desktop/VLC solutions would be a help too).
I really want to spend as little as possible, what with Christmas and our Wedding being recent expenditure(!)
Sorry for the big ask, but I could really use some pointers/build specs
Thanks!
EDIT: Apologies, I should have mentioned it needs to be able to transcode upto 1080, but as said before will only be serving one stream at a time, 2 absolute maximum.
