Hi,
I've been using a WDTV Live hub followed by a Roku 3 to stream HD content via Plex from my Synology NAS to my TV but recently I've been left pretty uninspired by the interface on offer.
Last night I started thinking about the possibility of a low powered HTPC to stream the content.. but I've been out of PC building for soooo long I figured I need a bit of help.
The Brief:
A low powered, almost silent HTPC.
Doesn't need a massive HDD as I've got 4TB on my NAS, so possibly only needs a low capacity SSD for the OS.
Case specs.. this is the hard bit I suspect... it can only be 170mm high by 400mm deep and around 300mm wide.
All my content is 1080P, file sizes are between 9 and 30GB per file.
This is just an idea at them minute.. so if anyone does help don't put loads of time in.. just an outline will do.
Appreciate any help I can get
