I am looking to throw together a build that will do nothing more than act as a server to transcode movies/tv eps. I have an ATV3 in the living room and use Air Video to display content but it requires my main pc to be on at all times to do this.
This is a little inconvenient so I am curious to know what is the minimum spec required to do this effectively. It is entirely possible I might have some hardware lying around that would cope but I would like to put together a very low power setup that can be left on at all times.
Solutions most welcome and would like to keep the costs down. Shame I missed out on all of the HP Microserver deals, that might have been perfect.
