Hi Guys,
Toying with the idea of building a HTPC rig / plex media server. How does the below look?
Will need to do some transcoding on the fly to an iPad or Android phone but most likely only one at a time. Maybe to two devices simultaneously but that would be a very rare occasion.
Not sure about the RAM, is 4gb enough? Also I was looking to get the 4150t, would it be worthwhile regarding power efficiency etc?
Thoughts?
