Hi Guys,
Need advice, I have been having this idea for a long time... not sure what the disadvantages would be.
Currently I have a ...
T420 (i5 2520M 2.5 GHz 2Core 4 Thread) with a Samsung 830 120GB and 12 GB RAM,
T410 (i5 M 540 2.53 Ghz 2Core 4 Thread) with 4 GB Ram and a T500.
Except for the T420 the others are kinda slow for my day to day tasks, none of them have a USB 3.0.
What I do? Browsing, youtube, playing my BD50 bluray backups, copying huge files across my external HDDs
What my wife does? Online shopping with 200 tabs open, she prefers the T420
So I was thinking I will build a new PC with a i5 6600(reasonable) or an i7-6700K(going all in, coz may be it will last for a few years), 16 GB DDR4 2133 with a newer SSD on a Mini-ITX (coz I lik the small form factor in my living room and I already have a spare old setup which I could use) will be connected to my router and will also act as the one place to store the files, setup as an FTP server for my Security Cam recordings.
I want just open up any of my laptops from hibernation, remote in to the server (with multiple user logins enabled) and do my stuff... Is this a good idea? Don't roast me : - )
Does the motherboard matter, can I go with the one with good reviews on the cheaper side? And finally should I go with the Skylakes or wait for the KabyLake?
TIA
