I want to build a NAS server. will use it to download movies and steam to my ipad and other mobile devices

this is the cpu and motherboard i want to buy.

my question is: after I get the movie downloaded on my server. before streaming to ipad, do you need to transcode them first? if you do, is my CPU powerful enough to do that?

I will use openmediavault. waht the best app out there for steaming and transcoding?

I don't have the answer whether this cpu is powerful enough for the type of transcoding that you want to do, but why would you use this particular board? I would go for a 1037u for sure.

very low power consumption. check all the reviews. also recommended by other users.

Remember the difference between idle and load. That board is not much lower than a regular setup in idle. I would buy a LGA1150 miniITX board and a Haswell Celeron/Pentium that you can also use quicksync function with for fast transcode.

Driver issues, sometimes hardware issue.

I am aware of the power consumption of the 1007u...the difference in it and a 1037u is something like 1.5 or 2 watts. I think the greater processing power is going to be way more than worth it for such a small amount of difference. In the end you are going to have to end up upgrading the board earlier, which will more than destroy whatever you have saved in power

Dont worry about power consumption. They're all going to spend most of their time idling. Check this out: http://www.nextwarehouse.com/item/?1343355_g10e i3-3217U - HD 4000 gpu

For the price of a 4930K you can buy a PS3 and play the game cheaper. LOL
