Hi! I'm looking to build a home server for streaming movies and functioning somewhat like a NAS. I already have a Bitfenix Prodigy case (Mini-ITX) that I would like to reuse.

Budget Range: ~$500

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Home Server, so I guess streaming movies and file storage.

Are you buying a monitor: No

Parts: I have a Bitfenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Case

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Any Australian site: mwave.com.au, msy.com.au, pccasegear.com

Location: City, State/Region, Country - Australia, Sydney

Parts Preferences: Intel

Additional Comments: One for streaming movies and file storage (like a NAS): So I'm guessing one thats low-power. Noise won't matter.

Thanks for any input! :)
