AMD A4-3400 & MSI A55M-P33 deal any good for a server?

[Kneedragger]

Just seen this ad and might pick it up if its a good deal for a new media server build. What do you guys think?

No transcoding just serving up media

Thanks

Serving media really doesn't take much (if any) in the way of CPU power. As long as the motherboard has everything you need it should be fine.

You're getting a $12 discount ($22 AR) off of Newegg's price. That's only 13%, so it might turn out to be a wash depending on taxes.

Edit: Not saying that it's a terrible board for a cheap server, just that it isn't a huge discount.
