Finally putting together a media streamer in my home. It will hold all of my music and Blu Ray rips. It won't be for any other purpose other than a media streamer (running XBMC or Plex) and I'll run it headless once everything is setup properly. I already have a Lian-Li Q25 Case so I will be in need of a Mini ITX board.
I'll probably be running 64-Bit Win 7 Home Premium as I have an unused copy I can load onto the machine. Also, I'm not interested in running RAID. I can always re-rip my BD's in the event of hard drive(s) failure.
Was looking at getting this Celeron board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128585
The only downside is that it only has 4 SATA ports but I can always put in PCI SATA expansion card to fix that problem.
I'm really open to suggestions. I'd like to do embedded like the above board I linked if possible to keep costs and power consumption down.
