thx sharing your experience. I think I should just pull the trigger and the the HP microserver as it got more future proof.
Can you also link the G.Skill ram that you mentioned ?
Seems like I have hit an other road block . guys at freenas suggest that for ZFS to work properly one should have at least 8gb of ram and not just any ram a freaking ECC ram which is not only hard to find for this board but is also damn expensive. Anyone has any personal experience with this ...
one of my m8s suggested that i should get micro server and use it as NAS storage. I have looked online and HP micro server looks like an interesting option. It has room for 4 drives which would help if want to expand later on...
I am thinking of either getting a an Asustor 202te (cheapest Intel atom nas I can find for £193 or a Zyxel 325 v2 for £94. Is it worth spending extra for the Asustor ? On Smallnetbuilder benchmarks they perform pretty much similar.
I will be mainly using it for streaminghight bit rate movieson my Tele or laptops etc. I haveread that high bit rate can cause problems on low end NAS drives. Also I am on a tight budget hence the single drive. But if I can a good enclosure for cheap I can add two drives to it plus it might save...

My current ram is 4GB...
thx all for the replies. I have been doing a lot of research and found that HDMI to DP wont work directly and i need an active convertor to get signal from PS3 to Dell, and considering the price of these convertors is too high i am better off buying something with both HDMI and DVI.
So enter...
