Can anyone Suggest what I should get for a HTPC/File Server?
Would I be better going with a decent desktop or and actual server? I
have checked TigerDirect.com and found a few cpu/mb combo. If I go that route would a P4 800d or 900d be best? Core Duo?
I am trying to keep the cost down that why i have been looking around. Would this server be good for my needs?
2.4GHz P4 533MHz FSB
1GB (4x256MB) ECC RAM
40GB Tape Drive
RAID 1/0 on Motherboard
Adaptec ATA 133 EIDE Controller Card
Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
