Q 1: Is this good enough for streaming BLU ray.... and other media files to the Xbox 360....

Q 2: I am creating this as a RAID now...do i need a RAID card or can i use mobo internal raid and just get internal hard drives and start creating raid...

Q3: i think i will replace the power supply as it is way too much for server which will be up 24 x7 most of the time....what power supply should i get it..

thanks for all the help...
