As the title says Im looking to build a media server. I am familiar with the process of building a normal pc but in this build Im looking to include and have questions about:
1) a Raid setup (back everything up on the server)
2) low energy consumption (because it will always be on)
3) best type of hdd (1080p streming)
4) operating system (window 8.1 or a linux distribution)
The final server needs to be able to stream movies (in 1080p) and music to a xbox 360, ps3, laptops and desktops, Kodi tv (running on ubuntu), a pioneer receiver, and a tablet.
It doesnt need to be the most expensive thing in the world just effective and durable. Thanks for the help!
