Building a home server

Django x2 · 25 Jan 2011 at 15:50

Dudes,

Want to stream multiple content to different rooms and have decided to build a home server. The only thing I'm sticking on is a graphics card or similar than will allow more than one HDMI source out, or, every room will have to have a thin client and just use network shares.

Regardless of that, what sort of spec should I be using? I'll rip through the main HTPC in the lounge but storage and delivery is what I need this box to do.

Any ideas?

So if I upgrade to a DLNA TV at somepoint, that will remove the need for HDMI matrix's etc? Does it pass HD video and audio of ethernet?

So does the server side software do all the decoding?
