Hi, i was wondering if someone could maybe help me and build me a cheap media server which i could use to watch movies and play music on? I would like it to be able to play 1080p content without stuttering and also have HDMI output. My budget is around 400$
Sorry to ask but i am new at building these custom PC's so i would like some help if possiable. Also i live in canada so please use either newegg.ca or nicx.com.
Thanks, help would be appreciated 
Building a PC for job is ok IF your going to be using it for other things but for size, noise,power consumption your best off with one of these:

This is number one media box
number two:

This is the one i have it plays all video,audio and does pictures it has a 1tb hd for that price and a remote
Its very small, very quiet takes VERY little power.
It can steam also and is portable so you can take it on trips and vacations.
Please mind
