I would like to build a media server for streaming movies through out my house. I currently stream movies with DLNA over the wifi but i can only stream one at a time so that's why i am considering building a server. I would like to stream movies to a Panasonic tv and 3 panasonic blu-ray plays through DLNA. Could one stream to all 4 units with out a hickup? I plan on wire all the rooms with cat5e wire and connect my router to a gigabit switch that leads to each room. but i have a few questions first.
1. How do you set up you connection between router, switch and server? -->router-->switch-->Ethernet to each room?
2. What kind of CPU and motherboard combo would i need? i won't be transcoding anything, all my files are mp4 and play on all my tv's and blu-rays players through DLNA. Again could one stream to all 4 units at the same time without a hickup?
Would a combo like this Significant or to weak ? http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1161981
3. What are all the components of building a server? Can some one share/post there complete server spec's please?
Any input would be appreciated!
Thanks.
